Angry, violent, reckless: testimony paints shocking portrait of Trump
Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony of a president lunging at a Secret
Service agent’s throat ‘is going to loom very large’ in US history, experts say
He lunged at a Secret Service agent’s throat. He threw dishes during
temper tantrums. And he wanted metal detectors taken away so his fans
could march with guns and knives.
An astonishing portrait of Donald Trump as an unhinged and personally
violent president emerged at Tuesday’s hearing of the congressional
committee investigating last year’s attack on the US Capitol.
Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Trump had been told in advance of his
speech at a rally on the Ellipse that some individuals were armed with guns. Ex-White House aide delivers explosive public testimony to January 6 panel
Even for a country – and a political press corps – long used to the norm-shattering of the Trump years, the picture painted of Trump at the surprise hearing was a shock to the system. The January 6 panel had
promised new revelations and it did not disappoint.
“Never before in American history have we ever seen credible testimony
this shocking against a president of the United States before Congress,” Michael Beschloss, a presidential historian, told the MSNBC network.
“This is a day that is going to loom very large in American history.”
