Cassidy Hutchinson, Mark Meadows' former aide, testified Tuesday at the sixth hearing from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.
on his Truth Social page, Trump denied that he called for armed attendees to be allowed into the rally. Trump also denied a part of Hutchinson's testimony in which she said that he was"concerned" about the photograph that would be taken of the Ellipse crowd because"the rally space wasn't full."
Former President Donald Trump knew some attendees of his January 6, 2021, Ellipse rally were armed with weapons and still wanted security to let them into the event, according to a former aide of ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Above, Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Meadows aide, testifies during the sixth hearing by the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot, in the Cannon House Office Building on June 28 in Washington, D.C.
In contrast to Trump's denial, Hutchinson testified to the committee that Trump was"angry" due to security not letting people with weapons into the rally. White House aide Tony Ornato tried to convey to Trump that some attendees did not want to enter because they didn't want their weapons to be confiscated by the Secret Service and that group could see the rally from the National Mall, where they did not have to go through security, Hutchinson said in her earlier remarks.
She also disclosed that this conversation took place mere minutes before Trump gave his Ellipse speech, meaning that he instructed a crowd that he allegedly knew to include possibly armed individuals who were not inside the Ellipse but who could hear him nonetheless to walk to the Capitol.Updated 6/28/22, 3:50 p.m. ET: This story was updated with additional information and background.
