Story summary

The Department of Justice is investigating Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, for allegedly lying to Congress in her testimony regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. A federal grand jury was empaneled earlier this week to hear evidence and witness testimonies related to charges that she made false statements to Congress. Hutchinson testified before the House Jan. 6 Committee in June 2022, providing some of the most damaging accounts about President Donald Trump's actions on the day of the riot. She stated that Trump had attempted to get into a limousine after his speech but was physically restrained by Secret Service agents due to security concerns. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is overseeing this case, and additional evidence may be presented to the grand jury as soon as next week. It remains unclear whether Hutchinson has received a subpoena or if an indictment will follow from the grand jury's proceedings.
