The January 6th Committee promised a star witness Tuesday at their surprise hearing, and former Donald Trump insider Cassidy Hutchinson more than delivered. The top aide to Trump’s last Chief of Staff Mark Meadows provided vivid testimony on what was actually going on in the White House on that terrible day, and who knew what when.
A true jaw-dropping moment occurred when Hutchinson described being told that Trump tried to head to the Capitol himself on January 6. “I’m the f*cking president, take me up to the Capitol now,” Trump is alleged to have screamed at his Secret Service detail.
Denied the request by agents, Trump tried to grab the wheel of his presidential car, known as the Beast, to take control of the vehicle himself, Hutchinson testified she was told by Tony Ornato, the deputy White House chief of staff, in the late morning of January 6, 2021. “Sir,...

CNN will debut Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal, with John Dean offering his first-hand account of the break in that brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency, on June 5.
Dean, former White House counsel for Nixon, serves as an executive producer on the project, with the debut tied to the 50th anniversary of the break in.
In a statement, Dean said, “After passage of a half century, we have the complete record of what happened during Watergate and this series is more than a cautionary tale about these events. The criminal conduct of Richard Nixon and his top aides was found to be totally unacceptable to the American people and became the blueprint for what no President of the United States should do.”
Dean said that the history of Watergate “is highly relevant once again, and it is a risk to our democracy to ignore it.”
