Raskin calls testimony that Trump wanted to let in people with weapons "searing"
Rep. Jamie Raskin, one of the Democratic committee members, told reporters Hutchinson's testimony was "searing."
Particularly pertinent to Raskin was Hutchinson's testimony that Trump knew rally attendees had weapons, and wanted them to pass through the magnetometers anyway.
"It didn't trouble him that there were armed people ready for violence in the crowd, in the mob that day," Raskin said. "And that confirms that this was a president who was willing to do anything to overthrow the presidential election of 2020 and clearly had violence within his sights that day."
"We had the president of the United States upset that the Secret Service and other authorities were using metal detectors for people entering his rally," and Trump wanted those taken down, Raskin said, noting police sightings of people carrying AR-15s on the National Mall. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/house-january-6-committee-hearing-how-to-watch-live-stream-2022-06-28/
