Amateur hour continues.

My Friday column was about the pushback against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the House January 6 committee. Hutchinson testified (among many other things) that Agent Tony Ornato of the Secret Service, who ran security at the Trump White House, told her that President Trump had gotten into a minor physical altercation with the head of his personal security detail, Agent Bobby Engel.
