January 6 Committee Tries to Fix Hutchinson Testimony with Cipollone Subpoena

Joel B. Pollak 29 Jun 2022

The January 6 Committee issued a subpoena to former White House counsel Pat Cipollone on Wednesday, despite the fact that he has already spoken to the committee, a day after testimony by surprise witness Cassidy Hutchinson fell apart.

Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified on Tuesday that she had heard others say that they had heard President Donald Trump tried to seize control of the car in which he was being driven by the Secret Service to reach a Capitol besieged by armed supporters.

Democrats and the media celebrated Hutchinson’s testimony — until the Secret Service and the individuals from whom Hutchinson claimed to have heard the story publicly disputed her claims and said they were prepared to testify under oath.

Other claims also collapsed. Hutchinson claimed to have penned a handwritten draft of Trump’s remarks on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, but former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann said that he had written it.

Hutchinson also testified that Cipollone had expressed concerns about Trump’s remarks and his desire to visit the Capitol because of the risk of “potentially obstructing justice or defrauding the electoral account.” She also testified that Cipollone had burst into Meadows’ office on Jan. 6 to urge the President to issue a statement after rioters broke into the Capitol, and that he had wanted the president to issue a strong statement condemning violence on January 7, the day following the riot.

Like her other claims, Hutchinson’s allegations were hearsay, not direct evidence.

Moreover, Cipollone may not have been at the White House at all on January 6, according to numerous sources.

Trump: Jan. 6 committee Pat Cipollone subpoena sets 'terrible precedent'

Former President Donald Trump is less than pleased with the House Jan. 6 committee subpoenaing former White House counsel Pat Cipollone.

The former president claimed that the subpoena for Cipollone sets a "terrible precedent" for the future and attempted to dismiss it as the committee faces scrutiny over its latest witness, onetime White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified before the committee on Tuesday.



"Now that fake storyteller Cassidy Hutchinson has been totally discredited and marginalized for making up the most ridiculous ever story that I tried to commandeer control of a moving White House Limo, and even went for a choke hold on the other very strong Secret Service Agent sitting in the front seat, in addition to her other lies, the Unselect Committee is asking to interview the former White House counsel for dirt, even though that would set a terrible precedent for future Presidents. NO!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The committee sent its subpoena to Cipollone on Wednesday, requesting that he appear for a deposition on July 6 and that the panel seeks his testimony on Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Hutchinson directly mentioned Cipollone, claiming that he told her there were "serious legal concerns" if Trump went to the Capitol after he delivered a speech on the White House Ellipse on Jan. 6, the day of the riot.

The January 6th commission is shaking the sedicious conspiracy tree to see which witnesses will fall out.
