The former US president, Donald Trump, wanted at all costs to go to Capitol Hill on January 6, argued at length with the secret services (“I’m the fucking president, take me to Capitol Hill,” he insisted); and at one point he even tried to grab the wheel of his limousine, the “Beast”, to get himself in the driving seat. He told the House commission investigating the events of January 6, Cassidy Hutchinson, at the time a collaborator of the White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. Lei Hutchinson said she did not witness what happened but that the episode of Trump’s violent anger was told to her.

Trump’s reply: falsehood
“I hardly know her.” Former President Donald Trump lashes out at Cassidy Hutchinson, accusing her of being a “false total” and an “informer”. Through his social media Truth, Trump denies the reconstructions made by Hutchinson, who told the Commission what happened in the White House on January 6, 2021.
