“The president said something to the effect of, 'I'm the effing President. Take me up to the Capitol now,” she recalled.

"He had sort of lunged forward – it was unclear from the conversations I had that he actually made physical contact, but he might have. I don't know," a secret service source told CNN. "Nobody said Trump assaulted him; they said he tried to lunge over the seat – for what reason, nobody had any idea."

She said that Secret Service agent Bobby Engel stepped in to stop Trump from steering the car. After she testified for the House select committee an unnamed secret service source denied the encounter to various news outlets. The source claimed Engel and the driver of the motorcade were willing to testify with their version of events.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, on Thursday, the committee held its eighth hearing in the matter where they spoke to Former White House press aide Sarah Matthews.

The Secret Service has also come under fire amid accusations it purged nearly all texts between agents from the timeframe in question.
