In bombshell testimony to the Jan. 6 committee , former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that on Jan. 6 an irate President Trump railed against aides and Secret Service officers who refused to transport him to the Capitol, allegedly yelling, “I’m the f-ing president, take me to the Capitol now,” and attempting to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine as it left the rally at the Ellipse. “The president reached up toward the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel,” Hutchinson testified. “Mr. Engel grabbed his arm and said, ‘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.’ Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge toward Bobby Engel. When Mr. Ornato had recounted this story to me he had motioned toward his clavicles.” Trump had a tantrum in the beast and said “I’m the f’ing President, take me to the Capitol now” pic.twitter.com/WiA8MHA7Tf — Acyn (@Acyn) … [Read more...] about Trump ‘Lunged’ at Secret Service Agent Who Refused to Take Him to Capitol on Jan. 6

Late Night TV Hosts React To “Truly Insane” Revelations About Trump’s Multiple Jan. 6-Related Meltdowns
What was a dark day for Democracy turned out to be a shining night for late night TV . Cassidy Hutchinson, the top aide to former President Donald Trump ’s last Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, gave riveting testimony of scenes that bordered on the absurd as the United States Capitol came under siege by Trump’s supporters and in the lead up to that event.

8 Things We Learned From Tuesday’s Bombshell-Packed Jan. 6 Hearing
The Jan. 6 committee set high expectations when it announced on Monday that it would be holding an emergency hearing on Tuesday, citing “recently obtained evidence.” The hearing did not disappoint, with Cassidy Hutchinson , a former aide to former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, over the course of just under two hours painting a damning, bombshell-filled account of former President Trump’s actions before, during, and after the Capitol attack. Trump and his team have for the past year and a half sought to distance themselves from the violence on Jan. 6, claiming it was an unforeseen result of a small group of rioters who were acting independently of any direction from Trump officials. Trump, the official line has been, issued a statement aimed at quelling the violence, and certainly didn’t want any part of it. That narrative was never credible. After Tuesday’s congressional hearing on Jan. 6, that narrative is dead. “This is the smoking gun,” Sol Wisenberg, a former … [Read more...] about 8 Things We Learned From Tuesday’s Bombshell-Packed Jan. 6 Hearing
