On Monday, Republicans on the Oversight Subcommittee for House Administration demanded that the anti-Trump Jan. 6 Select Committee's key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, preserve and produce all records and materials in her possession related to the events of Jan. 6, when she told the infamous story that President Donald Trump 'attempted to grab the steering wheel' of the Presidential limo.
Cassidy Hutchinson testifies before the Jan. 6 select committee on June 28.
Her new attorney, Joseph Hunt, sent a letter to House Democrats' J6 committee on Sept. 12, 2022, waiving her privileges with Passantino, JTN further reports.
"On June 28, 2022, you testified during one of the Select Committee's primetime hearings. During this hearing you asserted that former President Donald Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel from one United States Secret Service employee driving the vehicle and lunged at another," Chairman Barry Loudermilk wrote in a letter to Hutchinson.
"Cassidy Hutchinson's sudden and substantive changes to her testimony are inconsistent with previous statements she's made publicly and to the January 6 Select Committee. Her actions are deeply concerning and raise serious questions about her credibility," he said, adding "If she refuses to provide us with these documents, I will not hesitate to subpoena her for further questioning." He also told JTN that he plans to dig deeper.
"Cassidy Hutchinson tried to explain her dramatic changes in testimony by blaming her initial lawyer Stefan Passantino. Our discovery of Cassidy's errata sheet showing just how substantially her story changed, raises serious concerns about her credibility. Until now, her version of the story was the only one," said Loudermilk.
"Now we know Stefan is no longer prohibited from speaking about his interactions with Cassidy by attorney-client privilege. We look forward to hearing the truth from Stefan about his interactions with his then-client Ms. Hutchinson, and the Select Committee."
