The Secret Service agent who was driving the SUV transporting then-President Donald Trump to the White House after his speech at the Save America rally on Jan. 6, 2021, refuted the claim that the president attempted to grab the wheel of the vehicle, according to a U.S. House of Representatives report issued on March 11.

The agent, whose name hasn’t been revealed by lawmakers, told a House panel that he “did not see him reach.”
