Republicans have long sought to undercut Hutchinson's testimony regarding a story she said had been relayed to her secondhand about President Trump lunging for the steering wheel of his presidential limo following his speech on the Ellipse on Jan. 6.

Trump has vehemently denied the account and other White House employees did not corroborate the specific detail about Trump lunging.

The Washington Post first reported that a grand jury refused to indict Hutchinson.

She's been through the ringer. There was footage of him doing that at the time.

It still amazes me how the party always hating "liberal snowflakes" are the biggest snowflakes of them all.

I hadn't heard that before.

If this is the footage you mean, it doesn't seem very compelling. Is there better footage?

I was watching it live and it was more from behind. You could see wrestling going on for 4 or 5 seconds.

Who cares, if its abnormal and removed then trump did it.

Yeah I guess that's tough to argue with.

Though was thinking if the footage exists then it's be the easiest case to win
