She testifies that Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the presidential SUV when Secret Service agents refused to drive to the Capitol, and that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was warned in advance violence was likely. Trump denies her account. The testimony is a turning point in the committee's case.
