Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony during the January 6 committee's sixth public hearing confirmed stunning details of Donald Trump’s actions during the attack on our country.
Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified to how everyone involved—from Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy to White House attorney Pat Cipollone—worked to keep Trump from joining in the riot already underway outside the Capitol. In spite of this, Trump reportedly insisted on going, and even attempted to grab the wheel of the presidential limousine and assault security chief Robert Engel in an effort to make the Secret Service take him to the Capitol, where members of the Proud Boys had already led the crowd through police lines.
Hutchinson's testimony is the most damning to date. Her account is supported by a mountain of evidence. Trump knowingly incited an armed mob to storm the Capitol with the goal of overturning an election he knew he lost. He was willing to use violence in order to get what he wanted, even going so far as to assault his staff.
Trump and his co-conspirators must be held accountable for their actions and the ongoing plot to overturn the will of the people. The January 6 committee has done an exemplary job of presenting the facts. Now it's time for the Dept. of Justice to use its ample resources to ensure insurrectionists cannot continue their assault on our nation.
Keep fighting,
