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...
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 the committee to testify.

A random police officer -- not in the vehicle -- somewhere in the motorcade -- confirms Hutchinson's lie.
Meantime, the "committee" refuses to interview the actual Secret Service agents and supervisors who were actually there and said it didn't happen...
Another desperate attempt to bolster a trash witness.
Another lie.
Keep the story alive by any means.
Trump actually grabbed the motorcycle handlebars?
DC coppers are the ones who gave a medal to the murdering Ahole who shot Ashlie.
Their credibility is what, now?
Too bad Trump didn’t have his Baseball Bat with him , just think of the stories they would tell ,LOL
No no it’s true, this same officer witnessed those damn Covington kids assault the nice native American.
OH, YEAH... NOW...THEY REMEMBER.
What scum.
Apparently, DC cops aren’t worth a s—t. Just like DC mayor. They are apparently just as ethicless, characterless and lieers like their mayor.
Another hearsay story
Is there any doubt that the Capitol Police are not corrupt and anti-American? Even Sandy Cortez is talking about it.
I have witnessed a couple of presidential motorcades while I was living in Seattle during the Clinton years.
Local cops are always located at the very front and very rear of the motorcade.
This police officer “likes to lie.”
The kangaroo committee has completely lost me on this one.
Even if Trump did what they say.
So what?
No they didn’t. The shooter was a federal employee working for the Capitol Police. DC cops had nothing to do with it.
This DC police officer was not in Trump’s car. So here we have yet another case of some guy told some other guy.
Or more likely, some guy made something up, and then told it to some other guy.
No honorable court or committee would admit such hearsay testimony. But of course the January 6 committee is not honorable, and is not even pretending to be.
This would be the very same DC Police Department who employs and protects the murderer (Michael Leroy Byrd) of one Ashli Babbitt?
I have a very hard time trusting anything out of that outfit.
Does he know the Capitol Police ghoul that murdered Ashli Babbitt by chance? File this under frigging DC deep state bullsh!t.....
The NEW Congress in 2023 needs to have a committee/panel/investigation of its own. One that brings up EVERY member of the January 6 House select committee up on referral charges to the DOJ for sedition and treason. And all the willing witnesses, too...
The walls are closing in. Someone corroborated that someone heard someone say something about something which they heard from Simone’s best friend’s cousin’s girlfriend.
In a word: BS!!!!
Trump grabbed everything In sight... a cement mixer truck, a utility vehicle, a semi tractor trailer, a jet ski, a skateboard... no vehicles were safe from Trump according to multiple peop,e whl heard it from ofher people who were to.d something by so eone who was in the state at the time. /s
