Rep. Liz Cheney questions Cassidy Hutchinson before the House Select Committee. June 28, 2022.
On Tuesday, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, provided the committee with testimony that was absolutely jaw-dropping. During her relatively brief appearance, Hutchinson recounted how:
Trump tried to keep his followers from being scanned for weapons.
Trump physically assaulted a member of his security detail in an effort to force the presidential limousine to go to the Capitol, where the crowd had already broken through police lines.
Trump approved of the crowd’s call to “hang Mike Pence.”
Everything pointed to Trump wanting to personally lead the assault on the joint meeting of Congress from the steps of the Capitol. It was testimony that should shake even Trump’s most fervent supporters.
But as the committee hearing was wrapping up, Rep. Liz Cheney interrupted the closing moments with her own version of “Just one more thing.” That thing? Evidence that members of Trump’s team had attempted to intimidate witnesses appearing before the committee and attempting to suborn false testimony.
