Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino is debunking claims made by former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson during testimony in front of the partisan January 6 Committee Tuesday afternoon.
Under oath, Hutchinson told a story about President Donald Trump allegedly lunging toward the steering wheel of The Beast (the presidential limousine) after Secret Service agents told him he could not travel to the U.S. Capitol. She said the incident occurred after a speech to supporters at the Ellipse on January 6, 2022.

I’m pretty darn confident that the “POTUS grabbed the steering wheel of the limo” story is either false, or exaggerated to an absurd degree. I’ll explain in detail on my podcast tomorrow, but this sounds like BS.
As I said, this story is bullshit. I’m sure of it. https://t.co/NEa40kMIoY
