The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly seeking a federal criminal indictment against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for allegedly providing false testimony to the House January 6 Committee in 2022. Prosecutors from the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division have begun presenting evidence to a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. The investigation focuses on Hutchinson’s claims regarding Donald Trump’s actions and awareness during the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Some of her previous accounts, such as allegations that Trump attempted to lunge at a Secret Service agent, have been disputed by personnel involved. ~~The~~ Specific scrutiny has fallen on accounts provided by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato. One disputed claim involves Hutchinson testifying that Trump attempted to lunge toward a steering wheel after a Secret Service agent refused to drive him to the Capitol; however, Trump’s driver has testified under oath that this incident did not occur. While the DOJ is moving toward a formal decision on whether to proceed with an indictment, ~~with further evidence presentations expected later this month.~~ reports indicate the Civil Rights Division is leading the matter rather than the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which typically handles cases involving former White House employees.
