The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection will hear public testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, at a surprise hearing on Tuesday. Hutchinson began testifying Tuesday afternoon before the committee, as the sixth hearing got underway. The select committee announced Monday that it would be holding the last-minute hearing “to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony,” but declined to provide any specific details. By Tuesday morning, a number of news outlets were reporting that at least one of the witnesses slated to appear is Hutchinson, whose closed-door testimony has already been cited as the source of multiple revelations uncovered by the select committee’s probe. Over the past two weeks, the panel has held five public hearings during which members have been outlining the findings of their ongoing investigation into the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. The committee had planned to take a break following the latest hearing on June 23, in order to hear more witness testimony and examine a variety of new evidence it has received since the hearings began.

Hutchinson, who served as a special assistant to the president for legislative affairs in the Trump White House, was subpoenaed back in November 2021, along with several other former Trump administration officials who, the panel believed, had relevant information regarding the former president’s activities on Jan. 6 and the role he and his aides played in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. According to her subpoena, Hutchinson was not only at the White House on Jan. 6 but she’d been with Trump during his speech at the “Stop the Steal” rally on the Ellipse, where he urged his supporters to “fight like hell” before promising to march with them to the Capitol. She also emailed Georgia officials directly following Meadows’s trip to attend that state’s election audit, according to the subpoena, and was present for other key meetings and conversations at the White House leading up to Jan. 6.
