Former W.H. Aide Provides Secondhand Account of the Secret Service Refusing to Drive President Trump to the Capitol on January 6th

‘Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel, we’re going back to the West Wing’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HUTCHINSON: "So as the President had gotten into the vehicle with Bobby, he thought that they were going up to the Capitol and when Bobby had relayed to him we're not, we don't have the assets to do it, it's not secure, we're going back to the West Wing, the President had a very strong, very angry response to that. Tony described him as being 'irate.' The President said something to the effect of 'I'm the F-ing President, take me up to the Capitol now,' to which Bobby responded, 'Sir, we have to go back to the West Wing.' The President reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mr. Engel grabbed his arm, 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 towards Bobby Engel, and when Mr. Ornato had recounted this story to me, he had motioned towards his clavicles."
