Who Is Cassidy Hutchinson? 5 Things to Know About the Former Trump Aide
Prosecutors have presented evidence to a federal grand jury as they seek charges that Hutchinson lied during her Jan. 6 Committee testimony.
- The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is reportedly seeking a criminal indictment of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, investigating whether she lied to Congress during her 2022 testimony regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
- Prosecutors are focused on Hutchinson's 2022 testimony that former Secret Service official Tony Ornato told her Donald Trump demanded to be driven to the Capitol and lunged at the steering wheel on January 6.
- Ornato, a fierce Trump loyalist, has denied her account, while Trump publicly disparaged Hutchinson as a "phony" and a "leaker" in a Truth Social post, claiming he turned down her request to travel to Florida.
- Evidence has been presented to a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., with the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, rather than the U.S. Attorney's Office, unusually handling the investigation.
- As of October 9, 2026, no indictment has been publicly announced, and proving Hutchinson lied regarding what Ornato allegedly told her may present significant challenges for prosecutors beyond reasonable doubt.
