Committee Releases Video That Appears to Show Trump Raging at Agents in Suburban as He Left Ellipse

Trump has already been on Newsmax doing an interview in which he spent at least five minutes talking about how crazy it would be for him to lunge in the Secret Service Suburban and try to commandeer the vehicle and attack the “great guys” at the Secret Service. Correct. It would be and  was crazy, to the extent that it is true, and Hutchinson is very believable.

Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony was composed, tight, and so far, unimpeachable. We keep hearing from the MAGAs that the testimony about Trump’s “lunge” has been debunked by the Secret Service. But the Secret Service hasn’t put out any sort of official statement and one of the officers has already testified in early June.

Additionally, Newsweek states that the Committee has now put out a video of Trump raging at the agents in the car:

In it, behind a group of Trump supporters, a person can be seen moving their hands frantically inside the then-president’s Chevy Suburban limo.

It is not clear whether the person is gesturing towards the driver or other people in the car.

After the hearing, Trump, who has long opposed the investigation into the riots, lashed out at the former White House aide on his social media site Truth Social, where he downplayed her role in the administration and accused her of lying.

According to the Committee’s tweet:

Today’s testimony makes clear that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol with the armed mob, despite warnings not to do so from his advisors. When the Secret Service ruled out the possibility, the former President erupted in anger in the Suburban he was riding in.

If only that one car did not get in the way, we might have clear and convincing proof that Trump really was a crazed man, attacking his own agents, the ones that are MAGA loyalists, but agents that also likely aren’t willing to go to prison for Trump.

It is getting more interesting.
