Grand jury declines to indict Cassidy Hutchinson over Jan. 6 testimony
Prosecutors in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division sought charges over claims she made false statements in her Jan. 6 testimony, but the grand jury refused.
- On Tuesday, a federal grand jury in Washington rejected a Justice Department request to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her 2022 congressional testimony regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
- Prosecutors within the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division sought to charge Hutchinson with making false statements; senior DOJ lawyer Neville Hadley confirmed the rejection to Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui in open court.
- Serving as a key aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows during President Donald Trump's administration, Hutchinson testified before the House Select Committee and implicated Trump in the Capitol riot.
- Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy labeled the department's pursuit an act of "lawfare" directed by the president, while sources noted some DOJ staff doubted there was sufficient evidence for a viable criminal case.
- Former special counsel Jack Smith previously told Congress that Hutchinson was not a powerful witness, noting many of her stories were secondhand, an assessment reflecting skepticism about the government's case.
