Grand jury refuses DOJ bid to charge Cassidy Hutchinson over Jan. 6 testimony
A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., turned down the Justice Department's push to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House aide whose Jan. 6 testimony drew national attention. The Washington Post reports she was the target of the proposed charges. Courtroom word of the rejection came Tuesday.
The grand jury's answer was no. Senior Justice Department lawyer Neville Hadley told Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui in open court that the panel declined to hand up the requested indictment, according to The Washington Post. The Post broke the news Tuesday.
Hutchinson worked as an aide to Mark Meadows, Donald Trump's White House chief of staff. She later became a marquee witness before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, testifying publicly about the then-president's conduct that day.
The proposed indictment was tied to that congressional testimony. Per the Post, two people who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed Hutchinson was the target of the DOJ's request.
The rejection means this particular grand jury request produced no indictment. The Post's account rests on unnamed sources, and the story is still developing.
