Cassidy Hutchinson vindicated
The Secret Service is descending into scandalous chaos tonight as it pushes back against the Homeland Security Inspector General’s findings that the Secret Service deleted January 6th related text messages instead of turning them over as requested. Even as this plays out, there’s new trouble tonight for the anonymous Secret Service sources who disputed Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony about January 6th.
A police officer who was in Donald Trump’s motorcade on January 6th has now corroborated Hutchinson’s testimony to the January 6th Committee, according to a CNN report tonight. This means that Trump really did get into a physical altercation with his Secret Service detail as he attempted to seize control of the car and drive himself to the Capitol so he could personally lead the insurrection.
This is, obviously, terrible news for Donald Trump. When he’s inevitably on criminal trial for all of this, people like Hutchinson and this police officer will be called to testify by the prosecution, and the jury will acknowledge that their testimony lines up. This also seems to be terrible news for whoever within the Secret Service anonymously told NBC News that Hutchinson’s accounting of the story was false.
