Former President Donald Trump “denied lunging at his Secret Service security on Jan. 6 after they refused to take him to the Capitol when he wanted to march alongside his supporters after a rally,” The Hill reports.

He added: “Who would do that? I would grab a Secret Service person by the throat?”
