	Description:		In another explosive hearing into last year’s Capitol Hill riot in Washington, a former top aide in the Trump administration revealed details of what occurred in the Whitehouse in the lead up to events on January 6. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, said that the former president knew his supporters had weapons and body armour when he asked them to march to the Capitol building and asked authorities to remove metal detectors. Hutchinson also testified that after the Rally where he addressed the crowd, he wrestled with his security guard after being informed they would be returning to the West Wing instead of heading to the Capitol where Biden’s victory was to be certified. Today on Please Explain, national correspondent Matthew Knott joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss what was heard in the sixth public hearing by the January 6 committee.
