Tony Ornato, Assistant Director of the U.S. Secret Service, is leaving the agency.

CNN reached out to Ornato for comment.

The House Select Committee investigating the riots has revealed that it believes Ornath to be a key figure who can provide valuable information about Trump’s movements and intentions through January 6. Joined the White House staff as Deputy Chief of Staff on a temporary assignment in December 2019, eventually returning to the Secret Service to run a training program. Executed.

According to Rep. Zoe Lofgren of the California Democratic Party, a member of the committee, members of the committee have stressed their desire to speak with Ornato, who has hired a private attorney. It’s not clear if Ornert will testify in connection with allegations from Cassidy Hutchinson, former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

Sources told CNN that Ornert was eligible to retire earlier this summer and had been discussing leaving the Secret Service even before Hutchinson’s testimony.
