Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday hit out at reports that he lunged at a Secret Service agent on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to return to the Capitol, saying he wants "the Secret Service tapes far more than" the House select committee investigating the events surrounding Jan. 6.
Trump said in a statement: "I want the Secret Service tapes far more than the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs in that ridiculous and libelous story of me supposedly choking a big and strong Secret Service Agent around the neck while in the Beast (wrong car!) would be shown to be, as the Secret Service has already confirmed, Fake (and Fraudulent!). Likewise, there was no throwing of food, and I did not want to be surrounded by strangers 'with guns' during my 'Peacefully & Patriotically' speech. Fake News!"
Sources within the Secret Service told CNN last month that Trump, while being driven back to the White House after making his speech on Jan. 6, "sort of lunged forward" at the driver and insisted that he be taken to the Capitol.
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson later testified before the Jan. 6 panel that she had heard about this incident from another then-aide, saying that she was told Trump grabbed the steering wheel after being told he wasn't going to be taken to the Capitol.
A member of the House select committee recently said that the panel was set to receive the deleted messages this week. Reports are some of the messages can't be recovered.

“A member of the House select committee recently said that the panel was set to receive the deleted messages this week. Reports are some of the messages can’t be recovered.”
It’s always the same bullcrap with these traitors. They know it’s illegal to delete messages, and we know that every message they send is not only backed up but also captured by the NSA, and yet they get away with the same thing everytime. Any government employee who even tries to say “the message was deleted”, etc, in response to a public records request should just get an automatic 10 years in the pokey. For each request they fail to comply with.
Person B: "Trump grabbed the steering wheel and tried to go to the Capitol
Person C: Trump punched out the driver, grabbed the wheel and took control of the car
Person D: After choking out the driver, Trump leaped over the seat, opened the car door and dumped the driver out!
Yeah with each telling it grows.
“Sources within the Secret Service told CNN”
Lots of “sources” told CNN (among other media outlets) things about Trump that turned out to be completely false.
“Trump, in what would have been a remarkable and historic move, called for Mueller’s dismissal as special counsel in June, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.”
“The New York Times broke the story on Thursday, adding that — according to their sources — McGahn threatened to resign over the order.”
A list of troublesome Trump steps amid the Russia investigation

The White House’s stance is that Trump was not aware of contacts between his campaign and Russia, according to a source close to the administration.
Looks like both sides are going to be disappointed. The Secret Service claims that the video and texts got deleted.
This whole thing is ridiculous. I know Secret Service folks. If Trump wanted to go to the Capitol, all he had to do was tell the Driver “Go to the Capitol”. The Secret Service can advise against it, but in the end the President goes wherever the President wants to go, within reason.
I agree 100%....no SS agent would disregard what a President tell them to do...it's a order no a request. Whole 6 Jan committee is total Bull$shit and a waste of time and money.
And the border is secure.
Ridiculous and libelous stores is all the Unselect Committee has they may end up on charges.
They are now on record for the statements dark clouds arrive.
Just like the CIA and the FBI - these traitors routinely delete incriminating government electronic communications used to usurp the authority of President Trump. These agencies are completely rogue out of control and illegally operated 🤪
<> she had heard about this incident from another then-aide,<>
which the another then-aide wasn’t there either.
