Hutchinson told the committee in live testimony that she heard the account from Ornato, a senior Secret Service official who was at the time White House deputy chief of staff for operations.

Read the full transcript from the Oct. 13 hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

He knew that they were armed and dangerous, and he knew that they were going to the Capitol. He tried to take away the voice of the American people in choosing their president and replace the will of the voters with his will to remain in power. President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election, but President Trump is wrong. We know from our investigation that President Trump offered Jeff Clark the position of acting attorney general and that Jeff Clark had decided to accept it. With the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. President Trump made a decision, a choice, to ignore the courts and his advisers and to push forward to overturn the election. And in my view, that was the end of the matter. And as we were walking back from the Christmas reception that evening, the President was walking out of the Oval Office and we crossed paths in the Rose Garden colonnade. A federal judge in Wisconsin wrote, quote, the court has allowed the former president the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits. At the same time that President Trump was acknowledging privately that he had lost the election, he was hearing that there was no evidence of fraud or irregularities sufficient to change the outcome. And he was looking at the TV and he said, can you believe I lost to this effing guy? And that he was trying to figure out a way of avoiding the Vice President sort of being thrust into a position of needing to opine on that when he might not have sufficient information to do so.
