(CNN) The American people may soon hear directly from a key witness in the House January 6 select committee's investigation who can speak to former President Donald Trump's approving reaction to the US Capitol riot -- live testimony that could be the most important moment of the panel's upcoming public hearings.
Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is now likely to testify in person during one of the committee's upcoming hearings after she replaced her lawyer who had significant links to the former President, according to a source familiar with the matter
The committee has previously said it considers Hutchinson a key witness in its ongoing investigation, and she has testified several times behind closed doors.
Hutchinson told the January 6 committee that Trump had suggested to Meadows he approved of the "hang Mike Pence" chants from rioters who stormed the US Capitol, CNN has reported.

(7,627 posts)Rep. Lofgren interviewed by Ari Melber last night said the postponing of today's hearing was primarily because of their staff having trouble keeping up with the workload. When Melber replied primarily? she said with a smirk I will leave it at that..
Were they busy interviewing Hutchinson instead and planning to drop that deposition in the next hearing ?
