A former White House employee overwhelms Donald Trump and claims that the former US president tried everything to join the riots that took place on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.

Before the parliamentary commission, she gave an explosive testimony. Cassidy Hutchinson, 25, was assistant to Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff. On Tuesday, June 28, she unveiled the actions of the former president on the day his supporters invaded the Capitol, in Washington (United States), on January 6, 2021. “The president said something like, ‘I’m the fucking president, take you to the Capitol, now’“, told the former collaborator of the White House.

The president tried to grab the steering wheel. His security guard grabbed his arm and said, ‘Sir, you have to take your hand off the wheel. We’re going back to the White House, we’re not going to the Capitol’“, continued Cassidy Hutchinson. The scene took place in the presidential limousine. Donald Trump had just urged his supporters to march towards the Capitol. Cassidy Hutchinson described a president out of control. “Mr. Trump used his free hand to grab the driver, and when the chief of staff tells me about the scene, he gestures the president’s hand to his collarbone“, also declared Cassidy Hutchinson. According to her, the American executive knew that violence was preparing. She evoked a conversation which she would have had four days before the riots with the chief of staff of Donald Trump.
