Hundreds of thousands of Secret Service emails were obtained by the House.
The messages paint a damning portrait of the president and show him in a bad light.
The agency has previously revealed disturbing details about a president.
The House January 6 committee used observations from the agents tasked with protecting the president to paint a devastating portrait of his actions before and during the Capitol riot.
In what may be its last public hearing, the panel revealed internal Secret Service emails and other communications to portray an agency that was increasingly alarmed about the possibility of violence on the day when lawmakers would certify Joe Biden's win
The record shows that the White House had enough warning to stop the march to the Capitol and the Ellipse rally. Donald Trump ordered the angry crowd, some of whom were armed, to march to the Capitol despite the fact that they were aware of the potential for violence.
As Trump's pre-riot rally unfolded, agents were exchanging their concerns about how heavily armed some of the attendees were just outside the security perimeter. The agent traded messages about the crowd.
A report from the site of Trump's rally on the morning of January 6 stated that some members of the crowd were wearing body armor and military grade backpacks.
An agent in the federal protective service was texting a colleague on the 6th about how many weapons have been found. Is it possible to be sporty after dark?
The agents were very clear about how Trump was acting.
I don't know what to say." The Supreme Court denied the president's law suit, according to an email from the Secret Service. He is angry right now. It's probably no comments at all.
The January 6 investigation is not the first time the Secret Service has been at the center of an investigation.
The committee was investigating the Secret Service before the new revelations. According to Cassidy Hutchinson, Trump wanted agents to remove security screening outside of his rally because the crowd was too small. Hutchinson said that agents were concerned about a high number of weapons being taken from people who were going to attend.
"Take the effing mags away - they're not here to hurt me," Trump said, according to Hutchinson.
According to Hutchinson, Trump lunged at his driver while inside a presidential vehicle, because he was so angry that he couldn't join his supporters at the Capitol. Trump denied both of them. There has been no public testimony refuting Hutchinson's claims, despite the fact that Secret Service sources have doubts about whether Trump attacked an agent.
The panel is looking into how the Secret Service lost so much information. What happened is of interest to the National Archives. Anthony Guglielmi said there was no malicious intent behind the deletion of the messages. We don't know how many records were reported from January 6.
The January 6 committee did not have to go to court to get it. The agency deleted thousands of text messages despite Congress asking the Secret Service to keep them. The mass deletion was not a bad thing.
Ken Starr fought all the way to the Supreme Court in order to get the cooperation of agents. The head of Clinton's security detail was subpoenaed.
Rubin argued that commanders-in-chief wouldn't trust the president's protectors if they started leaking secrets. No judge bought that argument. The Secret Service tried to get their case heard in the Supreme Court, but Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist turned them down.
Over 30 current or former Secret Service personnel were listed in Starr's final report, as well as agents who testified that undermined the president's testimony.
Lew Fox, who was an agent, said that Clinton asked him to alert someone who was similar to Lewinsky.
The report stated that Lewinsky approached Officer Fox and said she had some papers for the president. The officer admitted her to the office. The door can be closed by the president. She's here for a while.
Lewinsky's frequent visits to the Oval Office became a nuisance, according to another agent. Clinton's personal secretary, Betty Currie, tried to get agents to admit Lewinsky to the White House without recording it, according to officers.
According to the report, one officer suggested putting Monica Lewinsky on a list of people who weren't admitted to the White House. Nobody would find out about Ms. Lewinsky if the President chose to see her.
