Bush and Obama. The onetime head of the president’s security detail temporarily left his Secret Service job to work as deputy White House chief of staff. “The sworn and professional men and women of the Secret Service execute our mission in an exceptional manner with the highest levels of distinction,” Guglielmi said.

The Jan. 6 committee has under-promised and over-delivered with each of its public hearings, and no more so than on Tuesday. “They’re not here to hurt me,” Hutchinson recalled Trump saying, because it is always about him.

Hutchinson offered previously unknown details about the extent of Trump's rage in his final weeks of office, his awareness that supporters had weapons with them and his ambivalence as rioters later laid siege to the Capitol.
