Cassidy Hutchinson Testimony Followed Switch From Lawyer Being Paid By Trump: Records - MSNBC Prime



SPECIAL REPORT: Ali Velshi shows public records that indicate Donald Trump's Save America PAC making regular payments to Elections LLC, the law firm of Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchinson until she changed lawyers about a month before testifying at a January 6th hearing, leading some to wonder about a possible connection between the switch and her willingness to testify. Aired on 06/30/2022.

Have they crossed some ethics boundaries?

2. If they're being paid by TFG, and apparently there are a lot of them, they clearly have an agenda

Trump's Save America PAC was paying for Cassidy Hutchinson's original lawyer. When she got her own lawyer, that's when she testified.

“Trump's organization and his allies have paid for or promised the legal fees of more than a dozen witnesses called in the investigation, raising legal and ethical questions about whether [Trump] may be influencing testimony with a direct bearing on him.”

Republicans do not have to be the cover-up party. That’s a choice...As an institution, the party has to date made a pro-Trump cover-up of its policy.

Cassidy Hutchinson originally was represented by one of the TFG financed lawyers and didn't agree to testify until she retained her own attorney. And we know she received threats, with TFG, "loyalty" is everything.
