Federal grand jury declines to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson
A federal grand jury in Washington rejected a Justice Department request to indict former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson on Tuesday regarding her testimony about January 6.
Prosecutors failed to secure charges
The justice department did not obtain an indictment against Hutchinson despite presenting allegations to the grand jury. Two anonymous sources told the Associated Press that prosecutors could not return a charging document. This decision marks another setback for the administration in its legal efforts against perceived adversaries.
Disputed testimony remains central
Hutchinson previously testified about Donald Trump's behavior during the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Republican lawmakers had accused her of lying under oath regarding events at a rally and inside the White House. Details of the specific allegations against her were not immediately clear to the public.
