An aide testified Donald Trump was told that people rallying on Jan. 6 had weapons but he told officials to 'let my people in' and sent the crowd to the Capitol.
WASHINGTON — Cassidy Hutchinson, a key aide in Donald Trump's White House, told the House committee investigating the violent Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection on Tuesday that Trump was informed that people rallying on the mall that morning had weapons but he told officials to"let my people in" and march to the Capitol.
Hutchinson told the panel that she was apprehensive ahead of time because she had heard plans for a rally and possible movements to the Capitol, where hundreds of Trump's supporters later violently pushed past police and broke through windows and doors, interrupting the certification of President Joe Biden's victory.
The committee's vice chairwoman, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, said the hearing would shed light on Trump's conduct at the time, the"actions and statements" of senior advisers and also what they knew about the prospect of violence in the days before the violent attack. She told the panel in earlier interviews that Meadows was warned about possible unrest.
She also revealed that the White House counsel's office cautioned against plans to enlist fake electors in swing states, including in meetings involving Meadows and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Attorneys for the president advised that the plan was not"legally sound," Cassidy said. The House panel has not explained why it abruptly scheduled the 1 p.m. hearing as lawmakers are away from Washington on a two-week recess. The committee had said last week that there would be no more hearings until July.
