Cassidy Hatchinson, an aide to the former White House Chief of Staff, testified at a hearing of the House Special Committee on the 28th.

According to Hutchinson, Mr. Trump “come to harm me” about the information that some of the supporters attending the rally in front of the White House were carrying AR15 rifles on the morning of the incident. It’s not, “he dismissed and asked to remove the detector from the venue.

The conversation was informed by Tony Ornart, a secret service executive who was Trump’s deputy aide (in charge of operations).

The New York Times and NBC have said that secret service leader Robert Engel and the driver of the private car on the day of the incident have never tried to grab the handle. I reported that I was ready to do it. According to Hatchinson, Engel was in the same room when he heard from Ornart about the day.

Mr. Trump denied that the testimony that he tried to grab the steering wheel to go to the Capitol was “false” on the SNS (exchange site) “Truth Social” that he launched.

The Secret Service reportedly issued a statement in cooperation with the House Committee and said it would respond to the new testimony revealed at the hearing. Archyde.com asked the Secret Service for comment, but no response.

The White House legal counsel, Siporone, said before the incident that if Trump went to the Capitol on January 6, “we would be accused of all imaginable crimes.” I also made it clear.
