The Department of Justice is reportedly seeking an indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, for allegedly lying to Congress. Hutchinson previously provided high-profile testimony to the House Jan. 6 Committee, including accounts of Donald Trump's actions in a presidential vehicle. The investigation is notably being handled by the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, a move described by sources as unusual. While specific statements under scrutiny have not been confirmed, Republican lawmakers have previously questioned the veracity of her claims, particularly concerning Trump's physical confrontation with Secret Service agents.
