(CNN)Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn't get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred.

The sources tell CNN that stories circulated about the incident -- including details that are similar to how former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson described it to the House select committee investigating January 6 -- in the months immediately afterward the US Capitol attack and before she testified this week.

While the details from those who heard the accounts differ, the Secret Service sources say they were told an angry confrontation did occur. And their accounts align with significant parts of Hutchinson's testimony, which has been attacked as hearsay by Trump and his allies who also have tried to discredit her overall testimony.

Like Hutchinson, one source, a longtime Secret Service employee, told CNN that the agents relaying the story described Trump as "demanding" and that the former President said something similar to: "I'm the f**king President of the United States, you can't tell me what to do." The source said he originally heard that kind of language was used shortly after the incident.

1. throw his fat orange ass in jail. Treasonous weasel!

[Irish_Dem]

2. Are the SS agents supposed to go along with crimes committed by the people they are protecting?

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. I would think it's similar to the active participant exception for attorney client privilege.

They can't be an active participant in any criminal offense, and immunity and privilege won't extend to them in such a situation.

Just a guess, though.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Perhaps that is part of the reason the SS wouldn't take Trump to the Capitol Building.

It is one thing to be in the Oval Office while POTUS is committing crimes that do not threaten life and limb. But to go to an active crime scene with fighting is a whole other matter.

The SS could have been in a position of protecting POTUS from Capitol Police or the military if it came to that. SS would have been shooting at other federal employees.

I hope the SS had their legal department on speed dial.

[LiberalFighter]

26. I hope this is pointed out during the Hearings.

[MontanaMama]

3. I would be a whole lot that

the SS saw and heard insane things from TFG and his spawn.

[Novara]

4. So what if he wanted a new toy?

The point is that he sent an armed violent mob to the Capitol to disrupt the congressional certification of the election.

Why are we still talking about the sideshow? Who cares about his temper tantrum? I care that he sent an armed violent mob after Congress because he wasn't getting his way.

[Tommy Carcetti]

6. We can care about both revelations.

It's not a zero-sum game.

[Novara]

8. What do you think is more important?

Prosecutable crime or childish behavior?

[Kingofalldems]

10. Facts are important.

Also assault is a crime.

[Cha]

13. TY!

20. It speaks to his intent to be part of an armed insurrection,

or at the least part of a violent mob's obstruction of congress.

Pat Cipollone was reported to be very concerned about the legal jeopardy Trump would place himself in if he accompanied his mob on their march to Congress.

[colorado_ufo]

21. In this case they are linked.

[LiberalFighter]

28. The behavior led to the crime.

It is part of the timetable that accounts for the actions.

[Cha]

12. I agree.. Thanks.

19. Last time I looked,

I could walk and chew gum at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with discussing his behavior inside the beast, I find it interesting and informative while at the same time, i can also discuss the sending of an armed mob to the Capitol Bldg. that day.

This is a discussion board after all.

[genxlib]

7. You know what this story needs?

A tazer.

I want to hear they had to subdue him with a tazer.

That would make me happy.

[Nevilledog]

14. I thought you were going to say "More cowbell"

[MyOwnPeace]

31. LOL for BOTH of you!!!!!

Tazer would be good - but 'velvet cuffs' from Melania's 'collection' would be even better!

And "More cowbell" - who doesn't need 'MORE COWBELL!!!!!!'

[Kingofalldems]

9. Kick and rec all threads corroborating Ms. Hutchinson's testimony.

[Cha]

11. Poor Pitiful Psycho.. Helpless against the SS

agents.

Dumbshit should be thanking them for not letting him go and lead the chrage with his lethal Domestic Terrorist Fuckups.

15. "The most important part of the story.."

29. The Orange Idiot did not consider it a riot.

And Graham would snuggle into his butt and agree that it wasn't a riot.

[Chainfire]

17. I just can't figure out why Trump would have exposed himself to that crowd of

Antifa invading the Capitol. He had been told that the people were armed..... And here I have been thinking that he was just a cowardly twit.

[sarge43]

18. I'll take a run at this.

He knew Antifa had nothing to do this. In that septic tank that subs for a brain, he believed he'd lead his cult into the Capital and declare himself King of the World.

You're insulting twits. He is a coward, bully and sadist.

[tclambert]

23. I think you're right about him wanting to be crowned king.

Maybe King of America to start with, and King of the World later. I wonder if any of the Proud Boys brought a crown with them. I suppose the Qanon Shaman's headdress would do.

[LiberalFighter]

30. If the Orange Idiot knew the rioters weren't going after him...

meaning he knew they were not antifa that means the rioters knew that too. So they can't argue that they wore protective gear for that purpose.

[sarcasmo]

22. I'm the King.

[Captain Zero]

27. What if he goes in there with some PBs and

The Capitol Police have to shoot into the Proud Boys to stop their advance, and this genius takes a bullet in the brain?

Personally, I think he was doing it to prove he could go to the Capitol uninvited, among other reasons.

[DFW]

24. Actually, Trump should thank them for not taking him to the Capitol

Since he probably would have tried to lead the mob, himself, he would already be behind bars by now, and be looking at being there for the rest of his life.

32. We ALL have what we believe are the most 'telling moments'........

and good arguments for each and every one.

To ME (just a good 'ole proud (well, maybe NOT so proud these days) American) the 'killer' is when TFG (I'll admit, I'm confused: does TFG mean "That F**king Guy" - "The Former Guy" - "That Fat Guy" ???) said, "Take down the MAGS!"
He WANTED no security - he WANTED armed people running amok - he WANTED chaos - he WANTED to be able to declare "Marshall Law" (yeah, THANKS Empty Green - that's too much fun to pass up!).
That is the person that swore to protect America and its laws.
