‘Bloomberg, Axios: Jan. 6 Committee ‘Star Witness’ Story Collapsing at Final Report Time’
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2022/12/21/bloomberg-axios-jan-6-committee-star-witness-story-collapsing-final
Not mentioned is after the Jan 6 Committee questioned Cassidy Hutchinson three (3) times in private, only after her fourth (4th) private questioning did she come up with the Trump lunging at the SS driver.

“Cassidy Hutchinson is what courage looks like. A trusted aide in Trump’s inner circle and under tremendous pressure not to testify, she did the right thing.
Her country called on her to tell the truth to the Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, and she proved herself a worthy patriot.
This young woman had not only been in the room, she had been taking notes. She was the smoking gun. Her testimony blasted a hole in the Trump stonewall.
She confirmed Trump orchestrated the Jan. 6 sedition. Had the Secret Service not refused to comply, he would have marched to the Capitol with armed men.
Pundits are calling Hutchinson’s testimony the “John Dean moment,” referring to Nixon’s Watergate hearings. Dean’s testimony inspired political cartoonist Gary Trudeau to declare Attorney General Mitchell, and thus President Nixon, “Guilty, guilty, guilty!””

Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) deprived students of National Merit awards apparently in the name of “equal outcomes for every student, without exception,” a strategy adopted recently by the Fairfax County public-school district.
One local parent, Shawna Yashar, unearthed the school’s policy of withholding such awards after she learned that her son was recognized as a “commended student” for being among the nation’s top 3 percent of students. Yashar’s son could not include the National Merit distinction on his college applications because TJ senior administrators didn’t distribute the letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to students, notifying them of their accomplishments, until later in the year.
“We want to recognize students for who they are as individuals, not focus on their achievements,” TJ’s director of student services, Brandon Kosatka, reportedly told a parent concerned about the delayed distribution of the awards.
Although TJ principal Ann Bonitatibus received the National Merit–award list at the end of October, two weeks before the early-acceptance deadline for many selective colleges, the school didn’t distribute the award letters to students until mid November.
“Keeping these certificates from students is theft by the state,” Yashar told Asra Nomani, who broke the story in the New York Post. Nomani’s own son graduated from TJ in 2021 and only learned “two years after the fact” that he was a National Merit recipient.
Bonitatibus has lobbied extensively to incorporate equity-based policies at TJ.
During the summer of protests following the murder of George Floyd, Bonitatibus emailed students and parents urging them to consider “the privileges you hold that others may not.” In February 2022, a federal judge acknowledged that TJ had altered its admissions processes to restrict the number of Asian Americans in a bid for “racial diversity.”

“Trump certainly behaved irresponsibly both on the day itself and before it. His blather about the election being stolen was heavy on the hysteria and very light on truth. He certainly sowed suspicion towards the political institutions of America among his keenest followers. And his failure to order the National Guard to assist the Capitol cops as the riot broke out – an order then vice-president Mike Pence had to issue instead – certainly suggests he did not treat the attack on the Capitol with sufficient seriousness.”
