In the communications, security personnel used the code name"Mogul" for Trump. When he learned there were no security assets and Trump would have to return to the White House, the president grew"irate" and attempted to grab the steering wheel of"The Beast," the president's armored vehicle. Hutchinson did not witness the altercation, but heard it from others and those who were there did not dispute the account, she said.Trump talked about walking to the Capitol, where he might give a speech or enter the House chamber.
