Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson cooperating with DOJ probe
CNN ^ | July 27, 2022 | Evan Perez and Paul LeBlanc

Posted on 07/28/2022 4:32:23 PM PDT by lowbridge

Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson is cooperating with the Justice Department's criminal investigation into the plots to subvert the 2020 election, a source with knowledge of the discussions confirmed to CNN.

The extent of that cooperation, first reported by ABC News, isn't clear.

The Justice Department declined to comment. An attorney for Hutchinson did not respond to a request for comment.

The criminal investigation into the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, and attempts to disrupt the transfer of power between the Trump and Biden administrations is the most wide-ranging in the Justice Department's history.

The agency has already brought two top aides to Pence in front of a federal grand jury, a move that signals its probe has reached inside former President Donald Trump's White House and that investigators are looking at conduct directly related to Trump and his closest allies' efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Hutchinson has cooperated extensively with the House select committee's investigation into the attack on the US Capitol, having sat for four closed-door depositions. She revealed how Trump and his inner circle were warned about the potential for violence on January 6, and how Trump wanted to join the throngs of his supporters at the Capitol.

Her testimony bolstered the narrative that the committee has been driving toward: That Trump incited and supported the insurrection as part of a desperate power grab to steal a second term, and that many of his top advisers thought his schemes were illegal.

The Justice Department has also reached out to other Trump White House officials regarding the Capitol attack, said Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former White House communications director during the Trump administration.

Did Trump hire any competent people who were loyal to him and believed in the MAGA agenda?

Her testimony, such as it was, was debunked before she ever left the witness chair.

Best not lie to the DOJ toots. Remember, you did work for DJT, don’t think they look upon you with favor...

It would be a great day to see her cross examined.

All the courtroom would here is “Objection” from the DOJ as her cross examination begins. Pres Trump’s lawyer wouldn’t even have to get out of the chair.

For one, stop taking the RNC bait…..if you don’t vote for Graham/Thune/Scott/Rubio/Cornyn/Scott/Tillis/et etc etc, the Democrat will win

Stop allowing the same people that have been stabbing us in the back, over and over, to go back.

What’s with these turncoat women? I think she’s just mad because Trump didn’t give her a job and she’s retaliating. Her parents must have never told her no in her life and she can’t handle it. They must be so proud.

Yes. How does she square these Tweets and actions like asking for a job with Trump at Maralago?

So she wasn’t “cooperating” before but she is now?
Did they write her an easier to remember series of lies? Or just let her read their lies into the record?

You've had this explained to you 1,000 times. Why do you insist on being stupid in public?

Cassidy Hutchinson cooperating with DOJ probe.

That reads like Bernie Madoff finds new partner.
