Federal Grand Jury Hears Jan. 6 Evidence on Cassidy Hutchinson's 2022 Testimony

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 9

Summary

  • Washington grand jurors have heard evidence on whether Cassidy Hutchinson made false statements to the House Jan. 6 committee, with more evidence potentially coming as soon as next week.
  • The inquiry remains at the grand jury stage, and no decision has been made on criminal charges; investigators have not said which parts of her testimony are under scrutiny.
  • Hutchinson became a central witness in June 2022 when she described Donald Trump's actions on Jan. 6, including a secondhand account of his reaction after being told he could not go to the Capitol.
  • That account of an alleged confrontation inside the presidential vehicle was later disputed by others familiar with the events, forming part of the backdrop to the current Justice Department investigation.
