The Jan. 6 select committee has interviewed the top Secret Service agent on then-President Donald Trump’s protective detail during the Capitol attack, according to three people familiar with the probe.

Robert Engel was the special agent in charge on Jan. 6, 2021, meaning he was responsible for protecting the president from “socks on to socks off” — the whole work day. In that role, he rode from the White House to that day’s “Stop the Steal” rally with Trump in the presidential armored car called “The Beast.”

Engel was also backstage at the rally and close to the then-president throughout the day as violence unfolded when thousands of pro-Trump rally participants marched to the Capitol to try to disrupt congressional certification of the 2020 election.

Because of that work, Engel has detailed insight on a key select committee focus: how the Secret Service handled the day’s chaos...

2. Doesn't surprise me, and it doesn't surprise nothing was done.

When you are protecting the POTUS and he loses his shit. WTF is there to do? Tell the VP who is a servile squish?

I suppose if he were really principled he could have resigned and ratted the Pig out to the press.

This is just nuts.

When the committee comes back from this recess, we're going to see video of Bobby Engel's testimony.
