Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s stunning testimony in the Jan. 6 hearings was the talk of late-night TV.
Cassidy Hutchinson revealed that White House officials knew about the risk of violence on Jan. 6 in the days prior to the insurrection.
“We learned that on Jan. 6, Trump knew the crowd had weapons, that he tried to get the metal detectors removed because they’re ‘not here to hurt me.’ He got mad at [former Atty. Gen.] Bill Barr over lunch and threw a plateful of ketchup at the wall, and then — when he found out that his limo was not going to the Capitol — he lunged for the throat of a Secret Service agent and tried to grab the steering wheel.
“You gotta admit, though, fighting your own Secret Service agents is kind of genius on Trump’s part,” Noah said on “The Daily Show.”
