Ex-Trump White House Aide Confirms DOJ Is Investigating Her
Cassidy Hutchinson said the Department of Justice is investigating her, according to a new court filing.
Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has acknowledged in a September 24 court filing that she is under investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the document. The court order detailed Hutchinson’s refusal to comply with a BBC subpoena requesting her to testify under oath in President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.
Hutchinson stated that she will invoke her Fifth Amendment right if compelled to testify in this case. The FBI and DOJ investigation into Hutchinson’s allegations is not specified in the court filing but was reportedly initiated following her testimony before Congress about Trump’s knowledge and actions leading up to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
