Then-President Donald Trump was told on Jan. 6, 2021, that some people were not being allowed into an area designated for his speech because they had prohibited items, a Secret Service agent says.

“At some point in that day, the president asked some variation of why a group of people—groups of people—weren’t being allowed inside the magnetometers,” the agent testified.
