The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection interviewed Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi on Monday.
Lawmakers and investigators on the committee are working to finish a final report, delving into intelligence failures and why the Secret Service failed to take action after they were notified of various threats regarding Jan. 6, according to people familiar with the committee’s work.
During her live testimony in June, Hutchinson testified that Tony Ornato, the deputy chief of staff who served as a liaison for Secret Service, told her that Trump tried to wrestle the steering wheel away from the head of his Secret Service detail Robert Engel after his appearance at the “Stop the Steal” rally on the Ellipse.
The committee repeatedly on Monday asked Guglielmi to walk through how he chose to describe Ornato and Engel’s accounts of events on Jan. 6, 2021, and the agency’s rebuttal of Hutchinson’s account of the story provided by Ornato about Trump’s behavior in the heavily fortified SUV. Many of the lawmakers on the panel were present for the interview. A committee spokesperson declined to comment.
