Former president and senior aides face exposure over knowledge that supporters were armed and intended to march on Capitol

Hutchinson testified under oath that Trump was deeply angered by the fact that some of his supporters who had gathered on the National Mall were not entering the secure perimeter for the Save America rally at the Ellipse where he was due to make remarks.

The response from the former president is significant for two main reasons: it makes clear that he had been informed that his supporters were carrying weapons, and that he knew those armed people intended to make a non-permitted march to the Capitol. “We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable,” if Trump went to the Capitol, Hutchinson said Cipollone told her the morning of January 6, alluding to obstruction of an official proceeding and defrauding the United States.

In raising Giuliani’s interest in a pardon, Hutchinson also testified that Trump’s former attorney may have also been central to a crime with respect to his seeming knowledge of what the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups were planning for January 6.

lenoretaylor If you want even greater proof that US has lost the plot after recent Supreme Court debacle, it’s the level of popularity that Trump still has in the face of such damning evidence that he was trying to engineer a coup

lenoretaylor Nothing will happen because fascists can be marching on the steps of the Hill and liberals will just decide to assemble a committee. This whole procedure is a fucking joke.

lenoretaylor I hope this all ends up as a movie.

U forgot to mention the driver nd the secret service agent ( u know the ppl that were in the car ) that was a lie...oops

In US it's hardly surprising if people are walking around armed.

Excellent long overdue news!How could it have taken any country so long to wake up!!

Lots of investigating. Lots of talking. In a real democracy Trump would have been behind bars within weeks of his attempted coup and insurrection. In America, they just do a lot of talking. Failed state.

million value
