A lawsuit filed by the former attorney of January 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson brings to light text messages suggesting her initial reluctance to comply with the committee’s investigation. The messages indicate Hutchinson’s inclination to independently leak information to the media and her skepticism about her lawyer’s strategy.
Hutchinson’s revised testimony alleges pressure from her initial lawyer, Stefan Passantino, to remain “loyal” to former President Donald Trump. The texts, now evidence in Passantino’s lawsuit against Andrew Weissmann, contribute to the legal battle over alleged coaching and damage to Passantino’s reputation.
The revelations highlight the complex dynamics surrounding January 6 witnesses and raise questions about the credibility of their testimony. Hutchinson’s admissions of withholding information before her new legal team underscore the evolving narrative in her testimony.
