A top Secret Service agent at the centre of the January 6 Capitol riot investigation has retired from his role

Tony Ornato became a key figure in the investigation after witnessing a number of key incidents involving then-President Donald Trump in the hours leading up to the deadly attack.

Ornato was initially head of Trump’s Secret Service before becoming deputy chief of staff in the White House in 2019.

His position to the former President has made him a person of interest in the Capitol investigation.

Earlier this year, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed Ornato told her Trump became angry when his security force refused to drive him to the Capitol on January 6.

Hutchinson also says Ornato confessed Trump lunged for the steering wheel AND grabbed an agent’s throat when they rejected his commands.

In a statement, Ornato has confirmed his retirement, saying he now wants to work in the private sector.
