  "summary": "The Justice Department has failed to secure a grand jury indictment against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Hutchinson provided dramatic but disputed testimony against President Donald Trump before a House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol insurrection. The grand jury in Washington rejected prosecutors' request to return an indictment charging Hutchinson, signaling a setback in the Justice Department's efforts to charge perceived adversaries of the Republican president. Details of prosecutors' allegations against Hutchinson were not immediately clear, but Republican lawmakers had accused her of lying under oath during her explosive testimony in 2022 about Trump's behavior on Jan. 6.",
