Washington, June 29

Former US president Donald Trump rebuffed his own security’s warnings about armed protesters in the January 6 rally crowd and made desperate attempts to join his supporters, as they marched to the Capitol, according to the testimony before the House committee probing the 2021 insurrection.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, described an angry, defiant president who was trying to let armed protesters avoid security screenings at a rally to protest his 2020 election defeat and who later grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV, when the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
