During her testimony before the parliamentary committee, a former employee of the White House claims that Donald Trump was aware that some of his supporters were armed. He even wanted to join the rioters, this day of January 6, 2021.
Were Donald Trump and his teams aware of the attack that was going to be given? Elements of answers were brought, Tuesday, June 28, by a former collaborator of the White House, Cassidy Hutchinson. She delivers a stunning testimony. After his speech, Donald Trump asks to go to the Capitol, but the intelligence services refuse. “The president then leaned over to grab the steering wheel. His chief operating officer took his hand and said ”Sir, you have to let go of that steering wheel'”she says.
The former president also seemed to know that there was a risk of violence in the Capitol. When he learns that his followers are armed, he replies that they must still be let in and march to the Capitol. Cassidy Hutchinson also portrays a team and a president who may have premeditated the events of January 6, 2021. New hearings are scheduled for this summer by the commission of inquiry to shed light on the specific reactions of Donald Trump.
