Cassidy Hutchinson: Trump not only wanted to go to the Capitol after his Jan. 6 speech, he grabbed the steering wheel of the Beast.
He also reached for his Secret Service’s agent’s throat.
My jaw generally doesn’t literally drop very often during congressional hearings, but…

After his J6 speech, Donald Trump got in his limousine and said, “I’m the fffing president, I want to the capitol.” When the secret service head in the limo told him “no,” Trump lunged and tried to grab the steering wheel and assaulted the secret service agent. OMG.
