The House panel has not explained why it abruptly scheduled today’s hearing — but a source has revealed the identity of the witness.
WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the Capitol insurrection will hear testimony today — Tuesday, June 28 — from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide in Donald Trump’s White House who is a vital witness in the sweeping investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
The House panel has not explained why it abruptly scheduled Tuesday’s hearing as lawmakers were away from Washington on a two-week recess. The committee had said last week that there would be no more hearings until July. She has also detailed how Jeffrey Clark — a top Justice Department official who championed Trump’s false claims of election fraud and whom the president contemplated naming as attorney general — was a “frequent presence” at the White House. The plot to remove the then-acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, unraveled during a Jan.
The committee’s investigation has been ongoing during the hearings, which started three weeks ago, and the nine-member panel has continued to probe the attack by Trump supporters. Among other investigative evidence, the committee recently obtained new footage of Trump and his inner circle taken both before and after Jan. 6 from British filmmaker Alex Holder.
