The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection will hear testimony on Tuesday from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide in Donald Trump’s White House, a person familiar with the matter told AP. The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Hutchinson also told the committee that Meadows and others working on Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election were told by the White House counsel’s office that a plan to use fake slates of electors as part of the president’s desperate effort to cling to power was “not legally sound,” according to court documents.
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. 3, 2021 meeting in the Oval Office when other
senior Justice Department officials warned Trump that they would resign if he followed through with his plan to replace Rosen with Clark. The precise subject of Tuesday’s hearing remained unclear, but the panel’s announcement Monday said it would be “to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.” A spokesman for the panel declined to elaborate and Hutchinson’s lawyer did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
The person familiar with the committee’s plans to call Hutchinson could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
