Jack Smith, the former special counsel, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill. Republican senators questioned him about claims of political overreach in his investigations of President Donald Trump. Fox News correspondent David Spunt provided coverage of the event.
A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., heard evidence regarding potential false statements by former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. She had testified before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Additional evidence may be presented to the grand jury soon, according to sources. Hutchinson, once a top aide to Mark Meadows, became a prominent witness against Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021. She testified about Trump’s conduct, describing an incident she heard from another official regarding Trump’s reaction to being denied travel to the Capitol.
Her account of an alleged altercation inside the presidential vehicle faced disputes from other individuals knowledgeable about the events. Despite this, Hutchinson maintains her testimony’s accuracy.
The exact parts of Hutchinson’s testimony under review by the grand jury remain undisclosed. The Justice Department reportedly investigates potential false statements by Hutchinson, with a federal grand jury convened to review evidence.
It’s important to note that grand jury proceedings do not necessarily lead to criminal charges. Presenting evidence does not confirm a crime occurred.
The U.S. Department of Justice has not commented on the matter. Hutchinson’s attorney also did not provide any statement. Brittany Miller, a Fox News Digital breaking news writer and former Independent reporter, provides this report.
