"A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel."

[PJMedia.com] On Tuesday, the liberal media soiled themselves over the so-called bombshell story that on January 6, 2021, President Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential limo and then lunged at a Secret Service agent because he wanted to join the protesters at the Capitol.

Tony described him as being irate. The president said to him something to the effect of, 'I'm the f—ing president, take me up to the Capitol now.' To which Bobby responded, 'Sir, we have to go back to the West Wing.' He then reached up front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel.

Mr. Trump then used his free hand to lunge towards Bobby Engel."
