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

A federal grand jury in Washington has begun hearing evidence about whether Cassidy Hutchinson, a onetime aide in Donald Trump's White House, lied to the House panel that examined the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Fox News Digital learned this from a source familiar with the matter, who said more evidence may go before the jurors as early as next week. No decision has been made on charging anyone, and the source described the matter as still in the grand jury stage.

Hutchinson worked under Mark Meadows, then the White House chief of staff, and became a leading witness for the committee. In a televised session in June 2022, she described Trump's conduct that day, including a secondhand story about how he reacted when told he would not be going to the Capitol. People familiar with those events later challenged her version of an alleged clash in the presidential vehicle.

It is not known which parts of her testimony the jurors are examining. The New York Post first reported the inquiry on Thursday. Hearing evidence does not mean a crime occurred, and such proceedings often end without charges.
