Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn't get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred.
The sources tell CNN that stories circulated about the incident -- including details that are similar to how former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described it to the House select committee investigating January 6 -- in the months immediately afterward the US Capitol attack and before she testified this week.
While the details from those who heard the accounts differ, the Secret Service sources say they were told an angry confrontation did occur. And their accounts align with significant parts of Hutchinson's testimony, which has been attacked as hearsay by Trump and his allies who also have tried to discredit her overall testimony.
Like Hutchinson, one source, a longtime Secret Service employee, told CNN that the agents relaying the story described Trump as "demanding" and that the former President said something similar to: "I'm the f**king President of the United States, you can't tell me what to do."

"He had sort of lunged forward -- it was unclear from the conversations I had that he actually made physical contact, but he might have. I don't know," the source said. "Nobody said Trump assaulted him; they said he tried to lunge over the seat -- for what reason, nobody had any idea."
The employee said he'd heard about the incident multiple times as far back as February 2021 from other agents, including some who were part of the presidential protective detail during that time period but none of whom were involved in the incident.

CNN has to work much harder at their disinformation business. Their current spiel is not working. They only need to look at their totally collapsed ratings.
Chuckle.
One person's "lunge" is another person's "leaned forward" to talk. 2 sugars light is a liar.
😂😂😂. And just now being revealed? Oh, okay.
Yes, all unsavory.
So what?
Of course he wanted to go to the Capitol, he said so in his speech.
And the News Misleadia DID coverthe debunking, when the SS offered to put the agents in question under oath before the J6 Show Trial, to refute the so-called testimony.
Isn’t there a big thick piece of glass between them..No. The agents need to have immediate access in case of a medical emergency.*
Yeah, that's a good rumor. Didja hear it from Cassidy? Well then take it to the bank....and the J6 Kangaroos.
Licht is just another commie bootlicker.
It’s smelling more and more like CNN supplied Cassidy Hutchinson with anti-Trump hearsay to repeat to the Jan 6 Kommissars.
Deep state does not acknowledge constitutional powers.
They actually believe they have greater authority than a president.
Funny, I reada credible report inddicating that the “Beast” (the vehicle used by Trump) was garaged at that time, and is credible evidence of perjury.
And there are agents ready to support the story. To date, no one has debunked or substantiated the claims under oath.
And none of those agents were there. The ones that were there, refute the story.
The sources tell CNN

Sure, source being Adam shifty I bet.
I’d be pretty damned angry too. But like the game Telephone, the story gets “enhanced” when passed along the chain.
If it is true, do they explain how the secret service refused and abducted him and took him to another location of their choosing? When does does the president not get to go where he decides?
Her juiciest parts are hearsay.
On the face of it she’s debunked.
