Republican Committee Challenges Cassidy Hutchinson’s Testimony, Note Wasn’t Hers

The plot thickens in the Jan. 6 saga.

A Republican-led House committee just threw a wrench into Cassidy Hutchinson’s star testimony.

They’re claiming that the note she swore she wrote for President Donald Trump wasn’t hers at all.

Turns out it was written by Eric Herschmann, the White House attorney.

Remember when Hutchinson said she took down the “get out” note for Trump?

Turns out, the pen might not have been in her hand after all.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Liz Cheney’s J6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson knowingly gave false testimony, according to the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight.

The Committee hired a handwriting expert to analyze a handwritten note revealing Cassidy Hutchinson lied in transcribed interviews and public testimony before the J6 Committee with Liz Cheney’s help.

It turns out Cassidy Hutchinson did not write the note.

Liz Cheney coached Cassidy Hutchinson and suborned perjury.

The truth will out.

Eventually.

ABC News adds:

A Republican-led House committee reviewing the work of the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has released a report Republicans say disputes a piece of testimony delivered by one of the panel’s star witnesses, Cassidy Hutchinson, during her 2022 testimony.

In the report, first obtained by ABC News, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight says a handwriting analyst, who the committee retained, determined that a note Hutchinson testified she had written for then-President Donald Trump to read during the attack on the Capitol was actually written by then-White House lawyer Eric Herschmann.

During Hutchinson’s testimony in June 2022, Rep. Liz Cheney displayed a handwritten note that Hutchinson testified she wrote after her boss, Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, handed her a note card and pen to take his dictation. The note, containing a potential statement for Trump to release, read, “Anyone who entered the Capitol illegally without proper authority should leave immediately” — with the word “illegally” crossed out.

Following Hutchinson’s testimony, ABC News reported that Herschmann had come forward to claim that the note was written by him during a meeting at the White House, and not by Hutchinson.

As part of their ongoing investigation into the Jan. 6 select committee, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight “obtained several samples of Mr. Herschmann’s handwriting,” which the committee turned over to an independent handwriting expert, who determined the samples matched the former White House lawyer’s handwriting.

“Based on the documents submitted, the evidence supports my opinion that the handwriting that appears on the Questioned Document was written in the same hand as the exemplars,” the report reads, referring to samples of Herschmann’s handwriting, according to a copy of the report obtained by ABC News.

Absolutely stunning lie facilitated by Cheney–who either knew it was untrue or didn’t properly vet this–that Cassidy Hutchinson wrote this note on Jan 6.
