An aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson urged his Republican colleagues not to subpoena January 6 committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson to prevent the accidental release of sexually explicit texts the 28-year-old was sent by lawmakers.
The Washington Post first reported the explosive allegations on Thursday, as the House GOP seeks to restart an investigation of the January 6 House select committee at the urging of President Donald Trump.
Hutchinson’s testimony about January 6 was some of the most embarrassing for Trump – as she recounted hearing that he threw a hissy fit to Secret Service when they wouldn’t take him to the Capitol after his Ellipse rally.
She also vividly recalled how Trump threw his plate of food at the wall when he found out that Attorney General Bill Barr told the Associated Press that the DOJ found no instances of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Hutchinson’s testimony was wanted as the GOP’s investigation tried to find fault in how former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, among others, handled the Democrat-led House probe on January 6.
