Donald Trump spent nearly his full term as president before learning that his daily schedule was being made public — at which point he ordered a stripped-down version of the document, a former aide testified.

The surprising revelation was shared by former White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere in his testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee that was made public on Tuesday.

“Every evening we prepared and released the daily guidance for the following day of the president’s public schedule. Beginning sometime around mid- to late December, the president discovered that, for the first time, my understanding, that we released a public schedule of his to the public,” Deere told the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. 

“He wanted to change the way we did that,” the former president’s communications aide added.
