Secret Service lead and presidential driver prepared to testify under oath that Trump did NOT grab the steering wheel or lunge at agents to drive himself to Capitol

Secret Services is reportedly prepared to push back against claims that President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of his presidential vehicle and lunged at Secret Service when agents refused to take him to the Capitol.

Such allegations were made by Cassidy Hutchinson, a former assistant to Mark Meadows, who said she had heard the tale second hand.

Bobby Engel, the lead agent on Trump's detail, and the presidential driver at the time are prepared to testify under oath to the committee that Hutchinson's testimony is incorrect, according to multiple news outlets.

The Secret Service promised in a public statement after the hearing to respond to the allegations.

The White House chief of staff's former top aide, just 25 years old, testified on Tuesday that Donald Trump's White House chief of staff told her that 'things could get real, real bad on January 6' just four days before the Capitol riot.

She also claimed her former boss, along with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, sought pardons from the former president linked to their efforts on January 6.

Among the more explosive points of the former staffer's testimony include Trump's alleged insistence on joining his supporters at the Capitol - who he was told in advance were armed.

'I'm the effing president, take me to the Capitol now,' she said he ordered.

'Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the West Wing, we're not going to the Capitol,' Hutchinson was told Secret Service agent Robert Engel said.

'Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby Engel,' Hutchinson recalled.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff Tony Ornato 'motioned toward his clavicle,' she added, as a sign the president went for his security detail's throat. R

"I think there is a partition behind the driver so it would be impossible to grab the steering wheel from back there."

That was my first thought. If he grabbed the wheel was he in the front seat or back? If he was in the back was there a partition?

“I think there is a partition behind the driver so it would be impossible to grab the steering wheel from back there.”

Yep.

Surprised she didn’t add “Trump grabbed his AR-15, shot holes in the partition and grabbed the driver.”

I kinda feel sorry for this kid. Working now with a bunch of gen-Zers.

For the most part I find them extremely narcissistic, clueless and brain-washed.

Eventually they are gonna be hosed. That’s sad.

A dope on FB posited that Cassidy Hutchinson might be Trump’s John Dean. What a maroon.

Bob Engel is a former Marine. No way in hell this could happen. Trump sits in the back with dividers between him and driver. These people are desperate and soooo
stupid it's pitiful.

Donald Trump, a 74 year old overweight man, somehow managed to break through bullet proof glass, grab control of the steering wheel, all whilst fighting off secret service agents?

Yeah okay.

DOJ only has time and funding to persecute the conservatives. Otherwise, a great idea.

Wow. How desperate must the 1/6 committee be to use this easily debunked story.

“Bobby Engel, let me introduce you to Michael Stenger, U.S. Senate’s sergeant-at-arms. The late Michael Stenger.

Do you remember now when Trump grabbed the wheel and swerved?”
