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

That entire unselect committee should be charged with TREASON.
This really did not sound like anything Trump would do. Not in his character. I kind of knew from the beginning that this was a big lie.
That woman needs to have to pay for a smear like this.
So is the crazy woman gonna get charged.
Not just incorrect its a huge deliberate political LIE!!!!
“Heard it secondhand”.....oh yeah, great testimony. Think Pelosi would allow them to refute?
Nothing happened that I could see either.
So can Trump sue her?
Looks like he sneezed.
I try not to use the word retarded because it upsets people but in this case....its a word that fits this crazy story
he was in the SUV
This is as bad as when these stooges on the left concocted their 3rd rate grade school hoax about prostitutes peeing on a bed.
Thanks! That is much better.
Cassidy Hutchinson is a young go-getter looking for a payoff or a swell-paying job..................

He better watch out, that’s not the narrative he supposed to hold.
Retarded and hard core propagandized.
On the other hand, I’m meeting Z-ers who are hard core constitutionalist and getting involved in politics.
Prayers up for their side.
Have to think that there is quite a bit of space from the back seat of the Beast to the driver / steering wheel. I doubt that President Trump was even within 12’ of the steering wheel of the beast.
This whole thing is just illogical to even believe this being truthful.
