The former President said in a post on his social media platform that he wants records from the Secret Service more than the House Select Committee.
He said the records would show that he did not grab the steering wheel of the presidential vehicle when he was told he couldn't go to the Capitol.
Last month, Cassidy Hutchinson testified to the committee that she heard an account of the incident from Tony Ornato, who was the deputy chief of staff at the time.
I want the Secret Service tapes more than the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs because of the ridiculous and libelous story of me allegedly choking a big and strong Secret Service Agent around the neck.
The Secret Service has denied the account that Hutchinson gave, and Ornato and Robert Engel, the Secret Service agent that Trump lunged at, said they were willing to testify under oath to refute Hutchinson's testimony.
Hutchinson said that Engel was in the room when Ornato told her about it.
The Secret Service has come under fire for apparently deletion of text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021. The agency said that the messages were not deleted in a malicious way.
The committee subpoenaed text messages from the Secret Service, but the agency couldn't give them new ones.
Hutchinson said that Trump knew some of the people in attendance at his rally at the Ellipse were armed and that he wanted more people to attend.
He did not want to be surrounded by strangers with guns during his speech.
