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

The Dem’s stagecraft as usual.
Cassidy Hutchinson has committed perjury!
.
She’ll never be charged.
Like Comey, Strzok, McCabe, and Page — protected.
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.
We’re on the same wave length.
He wouldn’t ride in the front seat.

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.
Lizzy is morphing into Hitlery Clinton with her hate and bitterness. I hope Lizzy doesn’t start boozing.
These lies from the Democrats are just preposterous.
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.
Good post.
“Armed mob”? Has anyone seen pics of anyone open carrying?
“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?”
Animation of any kind is more than they deserve.
