general in this letter we ve seen expresses some frustration in how difficult it has been to get records from the secret service, especially around that time, january 6, important time, and then the house select committee and other congressional committees are concerned as well partly because the house, too, they re trying to nail down on their own the details of january 6. that includes what secret service agents witnessed of donald trump that day, what they said about it afterward and that s a big part of what they re continuing to probe, especially now after the testimony of white house aide cassidy hutchinson which did highlight the secret service and what happened there. caitlin, cnn also has new reporting about a d.c. metropolitan police officer who is corroborating details of what cassidy hutchinson said. tell us about this. right. it wasn t just the secret service who witnessed that motorcade on january 6th that donald trump was in. when cassidy hutchinson testifi
