Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declared that Tuesday has been "a very, very bad day" for former President Donald Trump following the "explosive" House select Jan. 6 committee hearing.
Mulvaney said he does not believe the star witness lied and highlighted five key takeaways on Twitter.
"1) Trump knew the protesters had guns 2) He assaulted his own security team 3) There may be a line from Proud Boys to the WH 4) Top aides asked for pardons 5) The commission thinks they have evidence of witness tampering," he tweeted. "That is a very, very bad day for Trump."
Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Mulvaney's successor as chief of staff, Mark Meadows, delivered testimony Tuesday recounting Trump's behavior in the lead-up to and day of the Capitol riot.
"My guess is that before this is over, we will be hearing testimony from Ornato, Engle, and Meadows. This is explosive stuff. If Cassidy is making this up, they will need to say that. If she isn't they will have to corroborate. I know her. I don't think she is lying," he tweeted.
He was referring to top White House aide Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel, head of Trump’s Secret Service detail, who told Hutchinson about an alleged fit by Trump after he was told he could not travel to the Capitol on Jan. 6 after his speech at the Ellipse near the White House. The president attempted to grab the wheel of the vehicle he was in and lunged for Engel's throat, Hutchinson testified, citing what she had heard from Ornato.
The most striking takeaway from the hearing came from Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) when she revealed graphics detailing alleged pressure from Trump allies on witnesses before the committee, Mulvaney underscored. She did not divulge who had been pressured or who did the pressuring, instead showing transcripts of the alleged remarks.
"The Press is going to focus on some sensational revelations from today: guns, grabbing a secret service agent, etc. But the real bomb that got dropped was the implied charge of witness tampering. If there is hard evidence, that is a serious problem for the former President," he said.
"Cheney's closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. There is an old maxim: it's never the crime, it's always the coverup. Things went very badly for the former President today. My guess is that it will get worse from here," Mulvaney said.
And Mick Mulvaney just outed himself as a Traitor and Establishment Clown!
Well according to the Secret Service SHE LIED so are we supposed to believe that the secret service is in fact lying
Mulvaney was kissing Trump’s ass but got sacked when he didnt do his job. This is just payback for being a weak kneed clown.
What a clown show the lying traitors of this Nation and their toadies are putting on...
meanwhile, Trump is STILL winning!
But she is not testifying to something she personally witnessed. She's telling the people what she says she heard from someone else--not really a witness at all.
talk about a bad hire. But at least Trump did fire him.
Then what the hell was it Micky? I call it PERJURY !!
The problem is the MSM screams the lies from the roof tops.
they never report the truth once it’s out.
Odd, no where in the article did it happen to mention that Trump fired this loser and as a disgruntled former employee he’s not exactly an unbiased opinion.
That’s funny, everyone with first-hand knowledge says she IS lying.
remember the hoaxer during the Kavanaugh confirmations that stated he was a rapist? She’s the same way. Check her bank account.
Why do they keep saying people were armed? To me that blows all these lies as what they are.
It doesn’t matter what the committee has or doesn’t.
The outcome has been determined from the start. Just like the fake impeachments.
Formally known as hearsay.
Her evidence was all “HEARSAY” that I saw.... she may have believed what she said, but it doesn’t jive with what the people in the car say happened...
So, her repeating what she was told, doesn’t make what she was told accurate.
those clowns apparently don’t mind looking foolish
😂😂😂😂😂😂😜🙈🙉🙊
