DHS IG, Secret Service Reports Dismiss Cassidy Hutchinson's Allegation Trump Lunged for Steering Wheel

Aug 3, 2024, 02:52 AM

The Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General (DHS IG) report has dismissed the allegation that former President Donald Trump lunged for the steering wheel of his limousine on January 6. The report, based on interviews with witnesses, concluded that the incident did not occur. This finding contradicts the testimony given by Cassidy Hutchinson to the January 6 Committee, where she claimed Trump attempted to seize the steering wheel to go to the Capitol. The Secret Service's report also supports this conclusion. The revelation has led to calls for Hutchinson to be prosecuted for lying under oath.
