The Washington Post recently released a report alleging that lawmakers may have sent sexually explicit messages to Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a key witness for the January 6 Committee. This revelation emerges amidst the GOP-led investigation aiming to issue subpoenas to members of the January 6 Committee and potentially to witnesses like Hutchinson, even after those involved were pardoned by President Biden before he left office.
The report comes with heavy implications, suggesting that the release of these alleged explicit texts could have significantly impacted the decision not to subpoena Hutchinson for documents and communications back in June. It is currently unclear which lawmakers were involved or whether these messages actually exist. The Washington Post claims to have reviewed at least one piece of written correspondence without providing names or explicit details.
🚨NEW: Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) says pardoned J6 Select Committee members should “expect a subpoena soon."

Representative Barry Loudermilk cited that Hutchinson wasn’t subpoenaed due to her legal team’s cooperation with the investigation. He mentioned, “I didn’t receive any direct communications,” and emphasized, “We didn’t see a need to subpoena because her attorneys were cooperating with us.” This cooperation purportedly negated the requirement for formal subpoenas. Loudermilk further explained, “The threat of a subpoena is always more powerful than an actual subpoena,” underlining the strategic element behind this move.
Speaker Johnson also confirmed that a subpoena was unnecessary as Hutchinson had volunteered to participate. It seems evident that the decision not to formally subpoena her was influenced by these considerations of cooperation and voluntary participation.
Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony in June 2022 created a storm when she claimed that President Trump, after his speech at the Ellipse on January 6, wanted to be driven to the Capitol. In her account, Hutchinson narrated that Trump was furious when told he was being taken back to the West Wing, allegedly exclaiming, “I’m the f*cking president! Take me up to the Capitol now!” Hutchinson further sensationalized the narrative, alleging that Trump attempted to commandeer the presidential limo by grabbing the steering wheel, and that Secret Service Agent Bobby Engel intervened by taking Trump’s hand off the wheel.

An aide to Mike Johnson advised Republicans against subpoenaing Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6 to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written correspondence reviewed by The Post…

However, these extraordinary claims were later debunked. The House oversight subcommittee, under the lead of Rep. Loudermilk, discovered that four White House employees’ testimonies directly contradicted Hutchinson’s assertions. The fabricated nature of these accounts indicates a major flaw in the integrity of her testimony. Additional reports suggested that Liz Cheney had coached Hutchinson ahead of her testimony, pointing to potential manipulation in presenting false narratives.
The liberal media has failed in due diligence by spreading Hutchinson’s questionable claims without substantial verification, consequently misleading the public discourse regarding President Trump’s actions. As the investigation deepens, it is crucial for Americans to question the validity and agendas behind such testimonies and reports promoted by left-leaning media outlets.
