The contradictions may be piling up, but what, if anything will become of them??

House Jan. 6 committee’s secrecy fuels mistrust, demands for release of deposition transcripts

The House Jan. 6 committee, whose members were appointed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses and obtained more than 25,000 documents related to last year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol — yet most of the evidence remains a secret.

The committee has kept hidden the vast majority of its testimony, including entire transcripts of depositions that are now under dispute by more than a dozen people.

Among the most prominent objectors are two Secret Service agents who are refuting a sensational claim made at a public hearing Tuesday by a former White House aide turned star witness for the committee.

Cassidy Hutchinson, who worked as a special assistant to Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said she was told the former president lurched for the steering wheel — and an agent’s neck — when they refused to drive him to the Capitol to protest the certification of Joseph R. Biden’s election win on Jan. 6, 2021.

The agents say it never happened, according to anonymous sources cited by several media reports. And the disputed story is among several sensational allegations made during a series of public hearings staged by the committee that showcased selective snippets of testimony and documents, while withholding troves of other material in the Democrat-led panel’s quest to hold former President Donald Trump and other Republicans accountable for the Jan. 6 riot.
