Federal grand jury hears evidence in probe of former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson's Jan 6 testimony: source

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has begun hearing evidence in a Justice Department investigation into whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson made false statements to the House January 6 committee. The investigation is reportedly being led by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, a move noted as unusual for a perjury probe. While the specific statements under scrutiny have not been officially confirmed, Hutchinson’s 2022 testimony regarding Donald Trump's actions in the presidential vehicle on January 6 has been a point of long-standing dispute by other witnesses and Republican lawmakers. No final decision on a criminal indictment has been announced.
