If the drivers story was squelched....how did we find out about it?
The poutrage that wasn't. I guess they never covered this on Faux Not News. They were selling different lies at the time.......

Anthony Ornato, a former White House deputy chief of staff in the Trump administration as well as a former longtime Secret Service official, repeatedly
told the Jan. 6 House select committee that he had no recollection of a heated interaction between former President Donald Trump and U.S. Secret Service agents,
according to a transcript of his testimony, released Friday.
"I don't recall any conversation taking place about the possible movement of the president to the Capitol," Anthony Ornato testified.

Hutchinson
testified before the committee that she spoke with Ornato in a room with Robert Engel, the Secret Service special agent in charge on Jan. 6. According to Hutchinson, during the meeting, Ornato conveyed that the president became "irate" in his vehicle when he was told that he could not go to the Capitol, saying something to the effect of "I'm the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now."
When informed that he had to return to the West Wing, Trump reached up to the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel, prompting Engel to grab his arm, Hutchinson said she was told by Ornato, at the time. The president then used his free hand to lunge towards Engel, she said, noting that Ornato "motioned towards his clavicles" when describing the incident.
"I don't recall being made aware of anything that took place with the president in his motorcade from the Ellipse back to the White House," Ornato testified on Nov. 29 — according to the just-released transcript — when confronted about his conflicting account.
