Donald Trump tried to reach the wheel of his president’s limousine on January 6, 2021, when his security details refused to take him to the U.S. Capitol. Where his supporters were riots, a former servant testified on Tuesday.
The president at that time refused the concern that some supporters gathered for his fiery speech outside the White House that day brought an AR-15 style rifle, instead of asking for security to stop the screening of participants with a magnetometer so that the crowd would look bigger, the aide testified.
“Get rid of magazines; They were not here to hurt me, “Cassidy Hutchinson, a main maid for the Chief of Staff of Trump’s house who was white Mark Meadows, quoted Trump who said that morning.
Trump fought with the agents of the secret service who insisted he returned to the White House rather than joining supporters who invaded the Capitol where the Congress met to certify his rival Democratic President Joe victory, Hutchinson testified.
“I am an effective president. Take me to the Capitol now,” Hutchinson quoted an angry Trump said. He said Trump tried from the back seat to reach the steering wheel of a very armored president.
It was one of the several Hutchinson disclosures in testimony on the sixth day of the home hearing into the Capitol attack on January 6 which was deadly by Trump’s followers, awakened by his fake claims to defeat his election in 2020 was the result of fraud.
On social media, Trump denied that he had won the wheel.
“The fake story that I tried to take the White House Limusin steering wheel to direct it to the ‘sick’ and cheating capitol building,” Trump wrote on Social Truth, its social media application.
Courts of court, election officials, and reviews by the Trump government themselves rejected their fraud claims, including strange stories about an Italian security company and the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who damaged the U.S. ballots.
Four people died on the day of the attack, one was fatal by the police and the other because of the natural goal. More than 100 police officers were injured, and one died the next day. Four officers later died from suicide.
At the end of about two hours of testimony, representatives of Liz Cheney, one of the two Republicans at the Panel House consisting of nine people, gave the possibility of evidence of the destruction of witnesses and barriers of justice.
He showed a message to an unknown witness who advised them that unknown people would watch their testimony carefully and expect loyalty.
Republic Mick Mulvaney, who served as Chief of Staff Trump before Meadows, said on Twitter: “There is an old proverb: it was never a crime, it always covered up. Everything went very bad for former president today. My guess was that it would be that it would be that it would become worse than here. “
Hutchinson told the Committee that Meadows and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani had sought forgiveness from Trump.
Giuliani told WSYR Radio in Syracuse, New York, on Tuesday that he was not looking for forgiveness: “The only time for forgive Forgiveness because I don’t need it. “
The person who was in a hurry to call the hearing marked the first time this month, for six audiences, that a former White House official appeared for direct testimony.
Speaking in a gentle but guaranteed tone, Hutchinson painted a picture of the White House official who panicked with the possibility of Trump to join what would be a horde of violence that pushed his path to the Capitol, Hunting President Vice Mike Peni, Nancy Pelosi and other MPs who then certified the victory of Biden Biden on Trump Republic.
Their concerns focus on the potential for criminal accusations that Trump and others can face.
“We will be charged with every crime that can be imagined,” said Hutchinson, the Cipollone White House advisor told him if Trump went to the capitol on January 6.
“‘We need to ensure that this does not happen, this will be a very bad idea for us. We have a serious legal problem if we go to the Capitol that day, ” said Cipollone, Hutchinson testified.
Hutchinson, who sat far from the Trump oval office, testified that a few days before the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Meadows knew about the towering violence that could be revealed.
“” The things -things might come true, very bad on January 6, “” He quoted him saying inside the White House on January 2 with his boss.
He testified that Giuliani had said about January 6: “” We will go to the Capitol, it will be great. The President will be there; He will look strong. ”
At that time, he told the DPR Committee for the Seven Democrats and two republics: “That was the first time I remember feeling afraid and nervous about what could happen on January 6.”
This month’s hearing featured video recording testimonies from numbers including Trump’s oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and his former Attorney General, Bill Barr. They and other witnesses testified that they did not believe Trump’s fake claims about widespread fraud and tried to prevent them.
