Trump defenders have manufactured one discrepancy already: he couldn’t have done that because “The Beast”’s structure made that impossible. Well, actually, that’s not quite true — but it’s also irrelevant, because the Secret Service didn’t use The Beast — the limo — to take him back to the West Wing. They used one of their SUV’s, where it’s much easier for Trump to do what it seems he did.
According to the source close to the agency, both Ornato and Engel have appeared before the committee on the record and behind closed doors, at the committee's request. Those sessions were recorded, but not used in Tuesday's hearing.
In other words, the committee already has testimony taken under oath from the Secret Service agent (Engel) and the guy in charge of WH operations (Ornato). Given how careful they’ve been so far, I am completely confident the committee would never have had Hutchinson testify about the wheel grabbing unless they already had, on tape, corroborating testimony from these two.
So why are Ornato and Engel offering to testify again? Well, maybe they aren’t, really. More to the point, if the committee gets them under oath again, they would have to answer some very uncomfortable questions:

The J6 Committee May Know Trump Did Grab that Wheel [Update w/ Video Link]
Cassidy Hutchinson’s brave testimony to the Jr Committee included her reporting what she had been told about Trump’s behavior when the Secret Service wouldn’t let him go with his armed mob to the Capitol. Trump defenders have manufactured one...
