When the agent refused Trump took matters into his own hands and tried to grab the wheel and 'lunged' onto the secret service agent.
A former aide told the Jan 6 committee that President Donald Trump 'lunged' at his security when an agent told him he could not head to Capitol Hill.
According to Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony the president was 'irate' and told the secret service agent driving him, 'I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now'. When the agent refused, Trump attempted to grab a hold of the steering wheel of the limousine driving him, before placing his hand on the agent's clavicle, said Hutchinson.
