The Secret Service agent who was driving the SUV with then-President Donald Trump inside on Jan. 6, 2021, refuted the claim that President Trump grabbed for the wheel of the vehicle, according to a U.S. House of Representatives report issued on March 11.

The agent, who is not being identified by name by lawmakers, told a House panel that he “did not see him reach.”

President Trump “never grabbed the steering wheel,” the agent said. “I didn’t see him lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.”

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House official, testified to the panel in her fourth interview, in 2022, that she was told by Anthony Ornato, another Secret Service agent, that he was told by a fellow agent that President Trump grabbed for the wheel.

“Tony said something to the effect of, ‘did you hear what [expletive] happened?’” Ms. Hutchinson testified on June 20, 2022. Mr. Ornato then “retold the story” he was given, she said, that when President Trump got into the state car, the Beast, after speaking on the Ellipse, he wanted to travel to the Capitol.

She said President Trump became upset when he was told he would be taken back to the White House and “he lunged forward into what I believe … would be called the cab of the presidential limo and went to grab at the steering wheel.” When an agent said, “we’re going back to the White House” and “that’s final,” President Trump “was extremely angry at that response and used his free hand, to my understanding, to then lunge at Bobby Engel,” Ms. Hutchinson claimed, attributing the story to Mr. Ornato.

“Despite the driver of the president’s SUV testifying under oath that the Hutchinson story was false, the select committee chose to validate and promote Hutchinson’s version of the story as fact. The select committee hid the driver’s full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its final report, it did not release the full transcript,” House Republicans said in the new report.

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the now-disbanded select committee, did not respond to a request for comment.

The Jan. 6 select committee did not release the driver’s transcript. Neither did House Republicans. A Republican aide declined to provide it.

The first time he heard it, he said, was when Ms. Hutchinson testified about it during a public hearing.

In her first interviews, Ms. Hutchinson did not mention President Trump lunging for an agent or the wheel of the vehicle.

Even in her fourth interview, she got a detail wrong. She claimed President Trump tried to grab the wheel of the Beast, the presidential state vehicle, but President Trump was actually being driven in an SUV.

An errata she sent to the select committee updated a number of parts of her previous testimony, according to portions of the errata included in the new GOP report.

Another update dealt with then-Vice President Mike Pence. Ms. Hutchinson said for the first time in her fourth interview that she overheard Mr. Meadows say President Trump thought Mr. Pence should be hanged, and also heard chants of “hang Mike Pence” in the White House dining room.

The errata was never released by the select committee.

In its final report, the select committee said that the officials gave testimony corroborating Ms. Hutchinson.

But the transcripts actually showed their testimony did not corroborate Ms. Hutchinson, the interim report states.

One of the employees, for instance, said he did not recall President Trump commenting on chants of “hang Mike Pence” or saying that Mr. Pence maybe should be hung.

Another employee said that they were not aware of anything that happened in the vehicle transporting President Trump following the rally.

A third official, who spoke to Mr. Ornato, did not testify that President Trump lunged at the driver or wheel of the vehicle, although they did describe President Trump as irate.

Republicans said the testimony “directly contradicts claims made by Cassidy Hutchinson and by the select committee in the final report.”

“The American people deserve the entire truth about what caused the violent breach at the United States Capitol of January 6, 2021. It is unfortunate the Select Committee succumbed to their political inclinations and chased false narratives instead of providing the important work of a genuine investigation,” Mr. Loudermilk said in a statement. “In my committee’s investigation, it is my objective to uncover the facts about January 6, without political bias or spin. My report today is just the beginning.”
