Former Trump White House attorney Eric Herschmann is disputing another piece of Cassidy Hutchinson’s damning testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee.
Earlier on Tuesday, NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander reported that Secret Service agents involved in an alleged incident with then-President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, which Hutchinson recalled, are willing to testify under oath that the incident did not occur.
What did Hutchinson claim?
Hutchinson, an aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told the committee on Tuesday that she transcribed a statement that was intended for Trump to release as rioters pillaged the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The note, written on Meadows’ letterhead, read, “Anyone who entered the Capitol without proper authority should leave immediately.”
“That’s a note that I wrote at the direction of the chief of staff on Jan. 6, likely around 3 o’clock,” Hutchinson said at the hearing.
“And it’s written on the chief of staff note card, but that’s your handwriting, Ms. Hutchinson?” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) then asked.
“That’s my handwriting,” Hutchinson replied before explaining the circumstances surrounding the origins of the note, which she said was never made public.
What is Herschmann saying?
Herschmann released a statement on Tuesday claiming that he — not Hutchinson — wrote the note on the afternoon of Jan. 6.
“The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,” a spokesperson for Herschmann told ABC News.
“All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann,” the spokesperson added.
In fact, ABC News explained that sources previously disclosed to the network that Herschmann told the Jan. 6 committee that he was the person who wrote it.
At Tuesday’s hearing, Hutchinson explained that Herschmann was involved in the writing process — suggesting the phrase “without legal authority” — but maintained that she wrote it.
How did the committee respond?
A spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee said lawmakers find Hutchinson’s claims “credible.” The statement, however, failed to address the credibility of Herschmann’s claim or his testimony.
“The committee has done its diligence on this and found Ms. Hutchinson’s account of this matter credible,” the statement said. “While we understand that she and Mr. Herschmann may have differing recollections of who wrote the note, what’s ultimately important is that both White House officials believed that the President should have immediately instructed his supporters to leave the Capitol building.”
“The note memorialized this,” the statement continued. “But Mr. Trump did not take that action at the time.”

“...as rioters pillaged the United States Capitol “
Lol. Hyperbole much? The Capitol looked no worse than Hutchison’s apartment after a weekend of lesbian drug fueled sex orgies.
Perjury. Lock Her Up!
they get away with perjury by claiming ‘oh i just ‘mispoke’ because my memory was fuzzy’, and the feckless republicans say ‘ok- phew- thought ya mighta perjured yourself there’
Bret Baier is not impressed. /s
WTH kind of world are we living in right now? I’m 60y/o and have seen anything like this before. It’s clear as day this woman is lying and isn’t called out for it.
Ho hum.....
Her gossipy stories are falling one by one, not unlike enemies of Hillary.
But but but orange man bad!
She is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.
To be soon followed by a lifetime of ignominy.............
She’s covered herself by prefacing all her remarks as, “so and so said something to the effect of...”.
Liar.
There are lots of people that need to rot in jail without bail. Let’s begin with everyone associated with the 1/6 commission.
I am thinking this whole Cassidy bombshell story will be dead before tonight’s NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.
Even the MSM must realize, by now, that they are risking their credibility by continuing down this path.
They do not care....................
It’s been a couple of years of surprises.
The pundit class is pretending that this facially ridiculous Jan 6 show trial keeps coming up with “bombshell” evidence that will finally “get Trump”. Any sane person, including some liberals I know look at the same information in disbelief. Schiff et. al. have got to be counting on their audience just seeing the media spin, and not looking at the actual transcript.
What’s amazing to me is that after their latest fraud is exposed and widely debunked, they just go on to the next one, as if they hadn’t been caught lying through their teeth the day before about something else.
Well what they have with Hutchinson is a cross between Christine Blaisy Ford, The creepy porn lawyer and Stormy Daniels. Not exactly a stable of morals, ethics, credibility or character.
“Even the MSM must realize, by now, that they are risking their credibility by continuing down this path.”
That implies they still have some credibility left to risk.
Hey, at least Stormy was up front about wanting cash... world’s oldest profession after all. The little chick testifying is just a lying POS who wants an invite to Nancy’s wine cellar parties.
Hoping to ensnarl some unsuspecting rich guy into a non-pre-nup marriage before she turns on him too.
Did I miss the rioting at the Capitol? Was it set on fire? Never knew arson looting and killing was mostly peaceful protests, but people obeying the velvet rope is a riot...
The strategy of getting out the lie first, is a time tested dimrat technique.
