Grand jury declines to charge Cassidy Hutchinson over January 6 testimony

A federal grand jury declined to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her testimony about Donald Trump’s conduct on 6 January 2021. Prosecutors had reportedly sought charges alleging she made false statements, but the effort did not result in an indictment.

Hutchinson told the House January 6 Committee in 2022 that Trump appeared unconcerned about reports of armed supporters and later lunged at a Secret Service agent in his limousine. Trump has denied the account, and the driver disputed it. The Justice Department investigation began earlier this year; Hutchinson has said she would invoke her Fifth Amendment right if compelled to testify.
