    Generally, I have no empathy for the people who served in trump’s Whitehouse even if they now denounce him; Cassidy Hutchinson is the lone exception. I worry for this young woman’s safety. She has proven herself to be a patriot and taken great personal risk to tell the truth.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    stories about me roughing up Secret Service Agents from the back seat of the Beast (Limo),” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday.

    His remarks come nearly a week after House Republicans released a new report on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, which included testimony from one of Trump’s former drivers.

    The driver told the committee, however, that Trump “never grabbed the steering wheel,” and he said he “didn’t see him … lunge to try to get into the front seat at all,” per the report.

    Republicans and Trump have seized on discrepancies in their attempts to discredit the committee’s investigation of the insurrection and clear the former president of any wrongdoing.

    Trump has separately issued a call for the members of the now-disbanded House Jan. 6 select committee, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.

    The trial for his case has been delayed while the Supreme Court weighs whether the former president’s Jan. 6 actions fall under presidential immunity.

    A copy of the transcript of the driver’s testimony, reviewed by The New York Times, indicated the driver did back Hutchinson’s details about Trump’s insistence to join supporters at the Capitol.

    There’re major discrepancies in the gospels of the new testament but they have no problem with those.
