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.

Twenty five, thirty five or fifty people could come out now
AND CLAIM IT WAS THE TRUTH.
How dumb can CNN BE???
evolving story with the details changing.
But it is all rumor.
They try to bolster hearsay evidence with....more hearsay evidence
CNN = LIARS.
Don’t believe anything you read in the left wing democrat media.
ANYTHING !!!
I heard CNN employees were planning on burning their office building down.
That’s what hearsay sounds like just like Jan 6 baloney the Limo baloney.
Of course they are. They almost have to now. They will fool enough people to hopefully (on their part/not mine) make it worthwhile for them.
She said it was hearsay in her testimony.
According to anonymous hearsay about unnamed agents.
Wow! What a journalism!
Another trick they are trying is to say that the Secret Service Agents/driver’s side of the story is all “NOT UNDER OATH” and by anonymous sources, (unlike the Russia, Russia, Russia crap).
I know! I questioned someone about this very thing. What is the problem? He had a huge turnout at his rally wanted to be with the people protesting against a corrupt election. It actually works completely against their absurd theory about a planned attack.
Trump was the only one with the button to take down the glass separator. This is all so phony.
Nice try. The left is reshaping the story to say the details don’t matter and that what Trump wanted to do is what matters. So now the story is Trump was angry with the Secret Service. Like that’s never happened before.
We’ve not heard their testimony nor read the transcripts. You take the view it never happened. And if it did, it still didn’t happen. I’m taking a wait and see.
Let’s get them under oath.
Are Skittles candies really Unicorn shit? I take the view its not true, and will never be true. You take a wait and see.
How are you going to get anonymous agents under oath? Will your subpeona read "Anonymous Agent #1" and "Anonymous Agent #2"? And even if you could get anonymous agents under oath, what will you get them to swear to? "I heard a rumor that everything Hutchinson said is true!"
Buncha crap. You're acting like a total Concern Troll.
The two agents that Bitch Cassidy named are said to be fine with testifying under oath.
Or are you talking about the unnamed agents that anonymous sources say heard talk (hearsay) about the “incident?”
