gal low is being built. speaker of the house in the session of congress. they would have all been in danger and who else? the capitol police. who he knew were out gunned and out manned. and march them right to the people. it s astounding the criminality about this is really really high. astounding day of testimony. a lot more ahead. for more on the reaction from the former president and his people let s go to cnn chief white house correspondent. caitlyn, obviously a day of devastating testimony from former trump loyalist. what has donald trump s reaction been to the bomb shell testimony? he started denying it in realtime. she was still up there testifying in front of the committee, you already saw the former president responding. he is disputing the most sensational part of the story today. her testimony about him lunging at the secret service and overheard from other agents and
the testimony about him lunging at the secret service. what she over heard from other agents. and he s also denying that he knew cassidy hutchinson that well. saying she wasn t a well-known aid, even though she was a top aid to one of his top staffers and often seen on air force one. and a lot of her testimony was first-hand. she talked about what happened in the beast, in the presidential limo after the january 6th rally, which she had been told by other staffers. but a lot of what she said were things she overheard from people like the white house counsel or mark meadows or trump himself when she was listening to what he was saying before he went on stage january 6th and addressed them. today she was testifying under oath. you saw her stand and raise her right hand and trump is responding on social media,
wheel. and that both men are prepared to testify. do you have any concerns, though, congressman, that the story about him lunging for the secret service agent and for the steering wheel is not true? look, i believe cassidy hutchinson, i think she s a very, very smart, capable, honest individual. she has no incentive to make up something that isn t true. now, there is another pushback. cassidy hutchinson also testified she wrote a potential statement for trump to read during the attack on the capitol but reporting that eric herschmann claims he was the one who actually wrote that note, there are still, though, sandra, some accounts that she made that were firsthand that are still pretty troubling, including when she said that trump knew that rioters were armed and still wanted to march towards the capitol. we are not expecting anymore hearings, at least no surprise hearings be know of until at
hear the conversation and i had the windows up so i couldn t actually hear what they were saying back and forth and i kind of kept watching, going back and forth by the vehicle, away from the vehicle, and he kind of just and he stepped back and it looked like he was kind of giving up and surrendering and just stepped back away from him. why do you say surrendering because you saw him throw his arms up? yes, ma am. that s the reason because usually that means just surrendering, you give up. let me pause when you hear them, by hearing surrendering, that s one person s interpretation, right, anthony, from afar one would think you re putting your hands up, all right, i m not going to resist anymore, what have you but it could also be it your point to a charge. he could have said i m going to kill you, and at that point we decided we don t want him lunging at us, he s too close. we don t want that momentum
