Donald Trump clashed with the US Secret Service as he tried to head to the Capitol with his mob of supporters on January 6 last year, even after being told they were carrying weapons, according to revelations from the congressional panel investigating the attack.
At a hearing about the attempted insurrection that was abruptly called for Tuesday afternoon, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, testified that the former president wanted to join the rioters as they moved to storm the halls of Congress and overturn the results of the 2020 election.
However, Trump was stopped by the Secret Service, leading to an altercation inside the presidential vehicle in which he tried to grab its steering wheel.
