Cassidy Hutchinson Faces a Grand Jury Over Her Jan 6 Testimony

Original version ·

Remember the wild tale about Trump lunging for the presidential steering wheel? The DOJ hasn't forgotten, and now they're trying to indict the woman who told it.

Back in 2022, Cassidy Hutchinson delivered the ultimate viral testimony: an irate Trump demanding to march on the Capitol, trying to wrestle the steering wheel from the Secret Service, and physically lunging at his security detail. It was instant political theater, even after the driver later denied it ever happened.

Fast forward, and the tables have turned with a vengeance. After years of Trump demanding payback, federal prosecutors are presenting evidence to a grand jury accusing her of lying to Congress. The wild part? They are reportedly considering hitting her with a civil rights violation just for her testimony on Capitol Hill.

Telling tall tales in Washington usually lands people a seven-figure book deal, but crossing the wrong people turns workplace gossip into a federal felony.

    Wait so civil rights violations are used against congressional witnesses now? The precedent this sets is insane.
