President Trump won big on Monday after the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight revealed unreleased transcripts discovered during their investigation into the activities of the House Select Committee on Jan. 6, highlighting testimony from a Secret Service driver.
Many Americans may recall that a former White House aide during the Trump administration, Cassidy Hutchinson, claimed that the 45th president tried to lunge for the steering wheel of a presidential SUV to force the vehicle back toward the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Bobby Engel, a lead Secret Service agent, was reportedly willing to testify immediately in front of the Jan. 6 Committee to provide a counterpoint to Hutchinson’s chaotic tale, RSBN reported in 2022.
Now, the Secret Service agent driving the car that day appeared to smack down Hutchinson’s story via the transcript uncovered by the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
From Just the News, the report stated:
“The driver testified that he specifically refuted the version of events as recounted by Hutchinson. The driver of the SUV testified that he ‘did not see him reach [redacted]. [President Trump] never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.’”
The entire report clocked in at 81 pages and presented a damning picture of chaos and politically motivated behavior at the behest of the Jan. 6 Committee. Perhaps most disturbing of all is that specific information appeared to be purposely excluded from the public’s view to protect an allegedly partisan narrative.
Via the report:
“Additionally, the Select Committee selectively interviewed certain witnesses and publicly released their testimony before interviewing other witnesses who may have provided contradictory testimony. One example of this is the Select Committee’s decision to invite Cassidy Hutchinson for a public hearing before interviewing firsthand witnesses whose testimony may have corroborated or contradicted hers.”
House Republicans’ report concluded that the Select Committee’s actions were “a partisan exercise from the beginning and its work product and findings must be carefully weighed against its partisan formation.”
