A Washington, DC, police officer has corroborated to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, details regarding a heated exchange former President Donald Trump had with his Secret Service detail when he was told he could not go to the US Capitol after his rally, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.
The officer with the Metropolitan Police Department was in the motorcade with the Secret Service for Trump on January 6 and recounted what was seen to committee investigators, according to the source.
A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment. A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police Department did not immediately respond to comment.
The description of the angry exchange between Trump and his Secret Service detail was a striking moment during the June testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson said that she heard a secondhand account told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato that Trump was so enraged at his Secret Service detail for blocking him from going to the Capitol on the day of the insurrection that "he reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel" and "then used his free hand to lunge towards" his Secret Service lead agent Robert Engel. Hutchinson testified that Ornato told her the story in front of Engel and he did not dispute the account.
Neither of the agents named in the testimony have commented publicly on Hutchinson's testimony. But soon after it, a Secret Service official who would only speak on background, said Engel would deny parts of the story regarding Trump grabbing at the steering wheel and lunging toward an agent on his detail. The agency has said the agents involved would testify to that effect, though they have not yet gone back to

And that makes him a witness to what happened inside Trump's car?
So, a DC police officer not in the vehicle shows up eighteen months after the fact to corroborate a third hand, hearsay story?
There is no escaping either of these alternatives.
I've said the same below your post.
I can only hope and pray the fog, the massive DELUSION, that seems to stem from Trump and flow from him like a black cloud of putrid smoke is finally lifting from the eyes of all who have a brain.
Did he do good for this country? Obviously so, if only for his SC picks. But of course more than that. I voted for him twice, in 2016 and 2020 for these reasons.
But does that mean he's some kind of demigod that some on the "right" would have us believe? Absolutely not.
It's time to wake up. And recognize Trump for what he is: a flawed man, like the rest of us. He needs to be left behind, before we, as a country, are dragged down with him into the bottomless pit of pride he's ensnared himself with in the "2020 stolen election" nonsense.
Jail time for sure. 😂✌

Not just a motorcycle cop. A DC motorcycle cop.
What percentage of them vote for the Dems?
How much do you want to bet that he’s a hand sanitizer afficianado too.
Fake news. Could be a fake cop.
Trump would never wear dungarees torn at the knee.
You gotta look for things like this to identify fake video!
Looky, another wingnut flies off the screw.
Sorry troll - I’m still a full on Trump supporter.
“...anyone else but Trump. It’s our only hope. It’s the only hope for the country.”
I will take a mean tweet any day for a stable economy, energy independence and a secure border. “Moving on” from Trump only keeps the status quo. If he is the nominee, then I will vote for him. If it’s Desantis, I will vote for him. If it’s anyone else, it will be difficult to support establishment Rhinos, and hold my nose when I vote...I won’t do it anymore. As for the country...”you can vote yourself into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out.” My powder is dry.
LIAR!
What’s his name?
I was in D.C. last week. I never saw one white D.C. police officer.
CNN, DC police officer. Yeah, that’s credible.
Did he make a such a statement on, or about, Jan 6..or,about a week ago?
Trump truly does live in the heads of the Democrat/Communist Left ... and he continues scares the living hell right out of them! ... but it’s replaced quickly by a fresh hell in their warped minds.
It must be true because all those words you wrote.
