Grand jury hears evidence on Cassidy Hutchinson's Jan 6 testimony
Key Points:
- A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., is reviewing evidence related to possible false statements made by former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson to the Jan. 6 congressional committee investigating the Capitol riot.
- Additional evidence may be presented to the grand jury as early as next week, though no decisions on criminal charges have been made.
- Hutchinson, a former top aide to Mark Meadows, was a key witness in the House select committee and testified about President Trump's actions on January 6, including a disputed account of an incident in the presidential vehicle.
- It is unclear which parts of Hutchinson's testimony are under scrutiny, and grand jury proceedings do not imply guilt or guarantee charges.
- Representatives for the Justice Department and Hutchinson have not commented on the investigation.
