Cassidy Hutchinson said she lied in her original deposition with the House January 6 Committee.

Hutchinson said she initially told the committee she had not heard of Trump lunging at a Secret Service member.

But soon after her deposition, she said she told her attorney, "I lied, I lied, I lied."

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide in the Trump administration and a key witness in the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack's hearings, said she initially lied to the committee in a deposition about whether she'd heard about President Donald Trump's lunging at a Secret Service agent in the presidential SUV on January 6, 2020.
In her newly-released depositions with the committee, Hutchinson explained that she was coerced by her Trump-aligned attorney, Stefan Passantino, to mislead them on how much information she actually knew.

3. K & R..... Lying to Congress is "Against The Law"....Is That Correct?

7. I think it is,

4. Not a good witness, admits to lying?

6. Her trump provided attorney coerced her

to lie.

5. If true, the Trump attorney is in deep trouble!

8. But it will be a case of "she said he said," not much to go on for getting the attorney in trouble.

If the defending attorney had to go to a hearing, the first thing out of his mouth would be, "Was she lying then or is she lying now?"

Do I believe that she was told to minimize the Turnip's negative actions? Hell yes...

9. It is my understanding that most of her information is hearsay anyway...

...and cannot be used in a court of law. In other words, "she said, he said.."?

Is that not correct?

10. Passantino is Trump's creature, all instructions for the benefit of Trump. She dumped him after this

She sounds like she sincerely has an actual moral compass. She got her own lawyer, paid for out of her own pocket — that’s when she was able to tell all she knew.

The thing is, the person who engages the lawyer and pays for them — that’s the person in charge of the lawyer. She was part of a select group of people who were being “defended” by a lawyer paid for by Trump. If she couldn’t go along with the lie, she had to get out.
