@PoliticsReid True story: a Hill aide once told me his boss told him to get on the House daycare waitlist *the day he got engaged* Proved precient. — PolitiTweet.org

Man, @adamplevy and I must have missed all those daycares that only cost $419 a week. This piece is about how expensive childcare is in D.C. and that figure is actually laughably low (especially for infant care): https://t.co/TGyvrmqXQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Hutchinson told the committee in an earlier interview that Mike Pompeo, then the Secretary of State, reached out to Meadows to tell him that the 25th Amendment (to remove the president) was being discussed among the cabinet secretaries (also as @margbrennan reported that day). — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

When Cipollone and Meadows came back, Cipollone brought up the chants by the rioters calling for Pence to be hung. Meadows said you heard him - Mike deserves it. He doesn’t think they are doing anything wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

As rioters were breaching the Capitol, Cipollone came to tell Meadows they had to see the president. Meadows told him Trump didn’t want to do anything. Cipollone said there was going to be blood and it would be on his hands. Meadows agreed to go see Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

After the 12/1 interview when Barr said there wasn’t evidence of widespread election fraud, Hutchinson went to the dining room. She noticed ketchup dripping down the wall and a broken porcelain plate. The valet told her Trump threw his lunch at the wall when he heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Trump also lunged at the head of his detail. As Ornato recounted the story to Hutchinson, the head of his detail motioned to his neck. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

When the head of Trump’s detail told him that wasn’t happening, Trump yelled “I’m the effing President” and ordered them to take him to the Capitol. When they refused, Trump lunged at and tried to grab the steering wheel. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Hutchinson was in the motorcade back from the Ellipse speech. Ornato waved her into his office. Head of Trump’s security detail was there. Ornato told her that when Trump got in his limo, he was under the impression - from Meadows - that the trip to the Capitol was happening. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

McCarthy accused Hutchinson of lying to her when she had said they weren’t coming to the Capitol. She hasn’t heard what Trump said on stage. “Don’t come up here,” @GOPLeader said to her. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

National security council chat logs obtained by the committee showed they were aware rioters were overrunning USCP forces at the Capitol. McCarthy called Hutchinson and asked her if he thought they were coming to his office in the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

The committee is showing video of multiple White House aides saying Trump wanted to march or drive with rally attendees to the Capitol. When he announced as much during his Ellipse speech, Secretary Service started looking for a route. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

WH counsel Pat Cipollone told Hutchinson to relay to Meadows he had “serious legal concerns” about Trump potentially going to the Capitol. He asked her multiple times. He believed people would be charged with crimes including obstructing justice or defrauding the electoral count. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

“He almost had a lack of reaction,” Hutchinson said when she informed Meadows of the early difficulties of the Capitol. This was while Trump was still speaking. Meadows asked how much time Trump still had in his speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Ornato told Hutchinson that rioters were getting closer to the Capitol and Capitol Police were having trouble stopping them at the security checkpoints. Meadows was in a secure car having a phone conversation. Twice, Hutchinson tried to open the door to tell him but he closed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

He also said to take the magnetometers away and that people could march to the Capitol after his speech - knowing they had weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Hutchinson heard Trump say “take the effing mags away” - the magnetometers outside the Ellipse rally - because there were people who weren’t coming to see the rally because they couldn’t bring there weapons in. Trump wanted the space full. He said they weren’t there to hurt him. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Knives, guns, pistols and rifles, bear spray, flag poles, spears. All weapons in the crowd that deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato told Meadows were outside the White House that day. Meadows asked if he has told the president. Ornato said yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Outside the secure area for the speech, on the Mall, there were many other weapons, including AR-15s, spotted by police. People who came to hear the rally but did not enter the Ellipse were wearing ballistic helmets and wearing body armor. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

In her job, Hutchinson heard warnings of potential violence on 1/6 relayed to top White House officials, including weapons seized during arrests on the 5th. The committee learned that people who were screened at the magnetometers for the Ellipse rally had weapons confiscated. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

In video testimony, Hutchinson told the committee she recalled hearing the Oathkeepers and Proud Boys mentioned when Giuliani was around in the planning for 1/6. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Hutchinson was with Rudy Giuliani on 1/2, when he told her that the president was going to go to the Capitol on 1/6. When she relayed the conversation to her boss, Meadows, he said there was a lot going on but things could get “real bad” that day. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

A last-minute @January6thCmte hearing, announced yesterday, is underway now. The witness is Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. @BennieGThompson said new information came to light about Trump’s activities the day of the attack. — PolitiTweet.org

As @aaronlarnavarro notes, Gonzalez, Jacobs, Katko, Kinzinger and Upton are all retiring at the end of this Congress. Rice lost his primary earlier this month. Cheney was the most surprising vote to me on the list. Here’s her statement —> https://t.co/vjk57toWYG — PolitiTweet.org
