Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top White House aide, on Tuesday described for the Jan. 6 Special Committee a “furious” Donald Trump who threw dishes against the wall, ordered that rallygoers with weapons be allowed into his speech and physically tussled with his own security who refused to drive him to the Capitol building as the riot was getting underway.
All the while, Trump remained indifferent to the ugly scene playing out on the hill, and didn’t think rioters were doing anything wrong – even after hearing the now-infamous chants of “Hang Mike Pence.”
Hutchinson suggested that White House officials were aware there was a brewing threat of rioting and violence, saying she was “scared” about the “planning elements” leading up to Jan.
