House Committee Reviews ‘Changing Testimony’ of Jan. 6 Committee Witness Cassidy Hutchinson
A House committee that is investigating the 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building and is led by Democrats, has turned its attention to one of its key witnesses who was also a former member of the Trump administration.
According to Just the News, last week Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) of the House Subcommittee on Oversight ordered Cassidy Hutchinson to preserve all communications and documents related to her account of that day and her testimony before the select committee.
Chairman Loudermilk is particularly interested in examining changes in Hutchinson’s testimony over the course of 2022. She has appeared before the committee on multiple occasions behind closed doors.
“On June 28, 2022, you testified during one of the Select Committee’s primetime hearings. During this hearing you asserted that former President Donald Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel from one United States Secret Service employee driving the vehicle and lunged at another,” Loudermilk wrote to Hutchinson.
“However, in your previous three transcribed interviews on February 23, 2022, March 7, 2022, and May 17, 2022, you did not mention this interaction,” he continued.
Analysis of Hutchinson’s transcribed interviews throughout the year reveals a significant change in her account of events following the appointment of new legal representation.
By September, she had submitted an errata sheet to the Jan. 6 Committee, a legal document that allows witnesses to correct typographical errors in their previous testimony.
However, experts point out that Hutchinson’s amendments go beyond mere typographical errors and involve substantive changes, which is unusual.
In addition to this, testimony from another important witness – a former Secret Service employee who held a high-ranking position during President Trump’s term – as well as Hutchinson’s own text messages challenge key assertions she made.
These inconsistencies raise doubts about the credibility of her “corrections,” which could be seen as altering the facts she initially presented under oath, according to Just the News.
The outlet added:
In September 2022, after Hutchinson testified on at least four separate occasions to the Jan. 6 Committee, she filed an errata sheet amending key details of her accounts of events on that day, according to the documentation that Just the News reviewed in November last year.
One key shift occurred in Hutchinson’s account of then-President Trump’s trip in the presidential vehicle back from the Ellipse to the White House following his speech to supporters at his “Stop the Steal” rally. This shift was referenced in Loudermilk’s letter.
In February 2022, during her initial deposition with the committee, Hutchinson disclosed to congressional investigators that Trump did not contest the Secret Service’s assessment that he was unable to accompany his followers to the Capitol on January 6th.
“Did you ever find out what happened with that conversation in the Beast between the President and Mr. Engel [a Secret Service official]?” Investigators asked.
“Just that Mr. Engel had relayed the message that him and Mr. Ornato had discussed previously and knowing there was no — there were no developments that would’ve changed the guidance he was given before the rally had begun, that we didn’t have the assets available, and that was just reconveyed to the President,” Hutchinson testified about the conversation, as she said she was told.
In June of the same year, Hutchinson provided a different account of Trump’s response to the Secret Service assessment after his rally.
According to her revised version, she claimed that when the Secret Service official informed Trump that they couldn’t go to the Capitol, he became furious and forcefully moved towards the driver’s seat of the Presidential limo.
Hutchinson added that Bobby Engle, the Secret Service official, told Trump to remove his hand from the steering wheel as they were going back to the White House.
Trump allegedly reacted angrily and used his free hand to lunge at Engle. To correct her previous testimony, Hutchinson modified this specific narrative in her errata sheets. She initially disclosed this version during her televised testimony before the Jan. 6 Committee.
These allegations by Hutchinson became part of the media’s narrative and have not been updated to acknowledge her subsequent inconsistencies. Ornato’s own testimony contradicted Hutchinson’s account of events.
“I don’t recall that conversation taking place, nor do I recall being aware of any details that happened from the motorcade from the Ellipse to the White House,” he testified.
