China News Agency, Washington, June 28 (Reporter Sha Hanting) The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee held its sixth hearing on the investigation into the riots on Capitol Hill on the 28th local time.

A former White House staffer said then-President Donald Trump said he was going to Congress during the unrest on Capitol Hill and said he "didn't care" if protesters were armed.

  Attending the hearing that day was Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Although the 25-year-old witness is not a high-ranking official, he was said by the US media to have "first-hand explosive information" and "vividly" disclosed some important details of the incident that day.

  Hutchinson said Trump, on the day of the riots on Capitol Hill, demanded that security checks be removed from the southern oval lawn of the White House so that his supporters could enter more quickly.

Trump also said that from here they could "parade to Congress."

Trump also said he "doesn't care" if the protesters were carrying guns because "they didn't come here to hurt me."

  Hutchinson also said that as Trump supporters began rushing into Congress, Trump also planned to go to Congress, but was stopped by security personnel on security grounds, and at one point, Trump even grabbed it himself. steering wheel".

Hutchinson said it was unclear what Trump's purpose in going to Congress was, but she had heard "probably going to the House."

  Hutchinson also said she herself received an "angry call" from House Republican leader McCarthy at the time.

McCarthy stressed that Trump should not come to Congress.

  Before the Capitol Hill riots, Meadows told her that Jan. 6 "could be very, very bad," according to Hutchinson.

Trump lawyer Giuliani told her that January 6 will be a "great day, we will go to Congress."

  Trump denied Hutchinson's remarks.

He tweeted 12 posts on social media, calling Hutchinson "a total liar and a 'whistleblower'".

  On January 6, 2021, during the count of electoral votes in the presidential election, a large number of Trump supporters violently stormed Congress, killing at least five people.

After nearly a year of investigation and evidence collection, the US House of Representatives Select Committee started a series of public hearings on the Capitol Hill riots from June 9 and is expected to end in July.
