Hawaii senator who had to flee from Jan. 6 rioters: Bombshell testimony 'gives me chills'

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono told Hawaii News Now Tuesday she was “shaken” by bombshell testimony during a surprise hearing by the special House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

On Tuesday, a former White House aide testified that President Trump lunged at his Secret Service when they refused to drive him to the Capitol. The aide also said Trump knew many of the rioters were armed, but still sent them to the Capitol.

“I was just shaken by today’s testimony in particular because it really revealed the president’s state of mind,” said Hirono.

“He knew the rioters, the insurrectionists were storming the Capitol and were armed. He said they were not there to hurt me and he could give a rip about them hurting anyone else,” she added.
