"The January 6th committee featured one witness who offered some shocking accounts of then president Donald Trump's behavior as he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. President reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mister engel grabbed his arm, he said, sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the west wing. We're not going to the capitol. Cassidy Hutchinson was an aide to then White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, ABC Steve Roberts and Aaron couture ski were monitoring the hearing. Steve first, the president knew the crowd was armed and said he would go to the capitol with them. That in and of itself, the committee of vice chair Liz Cheney said is astounding. Well, it is astounding. The notion and what this builds is this picture that we've been hearing over and over again from this committee now for weeks. Trying to demonstrate the president's intent, trying to demonstrate that he was very knowledgeable about the intent of the crowd, and he was very knowledgeable about the challenge for perhaps even a violent challenge to what was going on in the capitol on January 6th, which was the counting of the ballots. And this has two implications here, and the one is legal. Hovering out there is the possibility. It's still a small one, I think, Aaron, but it's still hovering out there, the possibility of bringing criminal charges or civil charges against the president, but they would have to be able to prove that he knowingly was subverting the process of the government. But there's this larger political question. Apart from the legal question. It's a separate question, Aaron. And the other testimony about his lack of control about throwing dishes against the wall about upsetting cable costs about grabbing for the steering wheel of the president's vehicle to get them to the capitol. These are moments that speak not just to the issues of January 6th. They speak to the mentality of the president. They speak to the self control of the president. They speak to the president's qualifications to hold this office so there are enormous political implications down the line here, Aaron, apart from the legal ones. ABC News political analyst Steve Roberts our political director Rick Klein is here. Steve alluded to it Rick and I wanted to ask you about some of the, I mean, let's face it mind boggling details about the president's behavior that day as related by Cassidy Hutchinson, Rick, she said that there was a conversation about Trump going into the House chamber on January 6th after his rally at the ellipse, got into the presidential limousine nicknamed the beast, thought he was going up to the capitol and when he was told no, Hutchinson said he became irate and said, I'm the effing president, take me up to the capitol now and even lunged at the head of his Secret Service detail. The mental limits of this conjures Aaron, I don't think you could get away with in a bad novel about Washington. I don't think it would have a place in 24 or in any work of fiction.
