As most of us suspected. I wonder if the media and those who were trashing Ms. Hutchinson and the J6 committee over the anonymous denials will ever apologize.

Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn't get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred.
The sources tell CNN that stories circulated about the incident -- including details that are similar to how former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described it to the House select committee investigating January 6 -- in the months immediately afterward the US Capitol attack and before she testified this week.
While the details from those who heard the accounts differ, the Secret Service sources say they were told an angry confrontation did occur. And their accounts align with significant parts of Hutchinson's testimony, which has been attacked as hearsay by Trump and his allies who also have tried to discredit her overall testimony.
Like Hutchinson, one source, a longtime Secret Service employee, told CNN that the agents relaying the story described Trump as "demanding" and that the former President said something similar to: "I'm the f**king President of the United States, you can't tell me what to do." The source said he originally heard that kind of language was used shortly after the incident.

(854 posts)That alone doesn't speak well of his credibility. Why would TFG have done that said unless agent was a true believer and profusely kissed TFG's behind. TFG only wants to be surrounded by fawning sycophants.
And, according to reports from late afternoon MSNBC, other SS agents are coming forward to reporters to confirm Hutchinson's story.

(129,091 posts)They know they threw the smear out there just ahead of a holiday weekend figuring people will forget. Well come Tuesday, there's no "holiday" and the discussion will continue.
Back in the day, they used to do mea culpas and have panel discussions about how they could "do better". But that rarely happens anymore and are few and far between. They are frustrated because they are trying to drive a narrative and it keeps coming back to something else that is not in their interest.

The explosive new allegations were made on Tuesday by Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
JANUARY 6 HEARING: TOP 5 MOMENTS OF EXPLOSIVE CASSIDY HUTCHINSON TESTIMONY ON TRUMP, ATTACK ON CAPITOL
A series of social media posts accumulated this week in which colleagues and opponents of Ornato have accused him of failing to tell the truth in the past and being a habitual liar.
"Tony Ornato sure seems to deny conversations hes apparently had," claimed Olivia Troye, former White House Homeland Security advisor under Mike Pence. "First this one with Keith Kellogg in 'I Alone Can Fix It' [and] now hes denying the story he told Cassidy Hutchinson. Those of us who worked w/ Tony know where his loyalties lie. He should testify under oath."
