Cassidy Hutchinson, a onetime top aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified that former President Donald Trump was warned that members of the crowd attending his rally on Jan. 6, 2021, were heavily armed and still directed them to march toward the Capitol.
She also said she was told that Mr. Trump insisted on going to the Capitol with his supporters, even as officials, ultimately successfully, tried to stop him.
Ms. Hutchinson recounted a dramatic altercation in the president’s limousine, known as “the beast,” after his Secret Service detail refused to drive him to the Capitol due to concerns of safety. She said Tony Ornato, White House deputy chief of staff, told her Mr. Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the vehicle and lunged at Robert Engel, head of his detail, after Mr. Engel told him he wouldn’t take him to the Capitol.
“I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now,” she said Mr. Trump said. Mr. Engel said, “Sir, we have to go back to the West Wing.”
Ms. Hutchinson’s testimony to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot and its causes painted a picture of a White House aware of the potential for danger on Jan. 6, when both houses of Congress gathered to certify President Biden’s election win.
Ms. Cassidy recalled a conversation with Mr. Meadows on Jan. 2, 2021, in which she said he told her that “things might get real, real bad on Jan. 6.”
The comment from Mr. Meadows immediately followed a conversation Ms. Hutchinson said she had with Rudy Giuliani, who was acting as Mr. Trump’s attorney. During a walk outside the White House, Mr. Giuliani told her that on Jan. 6, “We’re going to the Capitol, it’s going to be great,”

Talk about “bearing false witness.”
This woman better repent.
If that succeeds, DeSantis will stomp all over them and 2024 will make 2022 look like a Democrat victory.
I forgot to add backstabbing and treacherous. Like Omorosa. Like Elaine Chao. Like Cassidy Hutchinson. Like Stormy Daniels. Like Karen McDougal. Like stephanie Grisham. Like Amy Kremer, founder of Women For Trump. Like his sister. Like Nikki Haley. Like Ann Coulter. Like Gina Haspel. Like Amy Phoney Barrett. Like Kirstjen Nielsen.
And I am certain Melania and I-vannnnnnka held him back many times from doing certain things because of the second or third-hand backlash they might feel in response.
We are in times when women, for the most part should shut up and let the MEN take charge. This goes for 60% of conservative women and 100% of any hole left of center. And it goes for you two knuckleheads.
Maybe by “heavily armed” they meant all the FBI informants planted around.
Ashley Babbitt certainly wasn’t “ heavily armed” when they shot her.
If she was told these things, it’s hearsay. If she wasn’t, she’s just lying.
Well, in fairness, the female he appoints to the SC was quite attractive. So were most of his cabinet picks and his staff. And a large number of his senate and House endorsements. It’s like he can’t help himself, and he keeps getting burned.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out she’s connected to Ricki Seidman. Seidman was Anita Hill’s “advisor” from Ted Kennedy’s office and also an “advisor” to Christine Blasey Ford.
That would perfectly explain the fantasy.
Apparently whoever allegedly warned him was wrong because I am pretty sure the spear the guy with the bison horn hat was carrying would not qualify as a heavy weapon.
So we can mock the liar
Thanks for that tidbit, forgot about him. Wonder if he is behind this crazy chick too?
Yes, reading drivers and agents willing to testify it never happened.
Her.
More male bovine excrement.
So what?
Sheesh, I’m living in a hologram and I can’t get out.

Saw a picture of the President’s limo aka “the beast” and it is 18 feet long, with the president sitting 6-8 feet behind the driver, thus he’d need to have Mr. Fantastick’s rubberlike arms to reach the distance and grab the stering wheel. AND, the vehicle’s driver and the SS agent have both said that the story is FALSE. Actually, the agents said the President was in the Presidential Suburban SUV and NOT the Beast.
Indisputable proof here that morons (like you) gotta moron. You are a disgrace who sullies this website with your ignorance and stupidity.
Same MO. Didn't work then. Won't do any better here, but it is a go-to strategy of beltway types inflicted with TDS.
“So, if Trump desperately wanted to go to the Capitol, that would suggest that he did not think it was dangerous. I don’t understand why this means anything. He demands that the limo driver take him to the Hill. Are they suggesting that Trump was going to lead an insurrection?”
I agree with this 100%.
The Trump Era is strange, in the fact that his enemies see things that aren’t a big deal IMO.
Today isn’t the “walls are closing in.” Its “there isn’t even any walls.”
