Grand Jury Declines to Indict Cassidy Hutchinson Over Jan. 6 Testimony | Breaking News Nation

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., declined Tuesday to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, after the Justice Department sought criminal charges tied to statements she made to Congress in 2022, according to two sources cited by Fox News Digital.
The sources said prosecutors pursued an indictment over allegations that Hutchinson lied to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The grand jury did not return an indictment. It is not clear whether federal prosecutors will try again.
Hutchinson served as a top aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. She became a prominent witness before the House select committee examining the Capitol riot and efforts by President Donald Trump to challenge the outcome of the 2020 election.
In a nationally televised hearing in June 2022, Hutchinson testified about Trump's conduct on Jan. 6. One part of her account concerned the president's reaction after being told he could not travel to the Capitol. Hutchinson said she had heard the account from another White House official. Her description of an alleged confrontation inside the presidential vehicle was later disputed by other people familiar with the events, according to the supplied reporting.
The grand jury's decision does not resolve whether Hutchinson's testimony was accurate or false. Hutchinson has previously said she stands by what she told the committee.
Fox News Digital had earlier reported that a Washington grand jury heard evidence about possible false statements Hutchinson made to the congressional panel. At that stage, a source familiar with the matter said further evidence might be presented the following week and that prosecutors had not made a final decision about whether to bring charges. The New York Post also reported that the Justice Department was investigating Hutchinson over possible false statements to Congress.
The Justice Department, along with the offices of Reps. Barry Loudermilk and Bennie Thompson, was contacted for comment, Fox News Digital reported. The supplied material does not include responses from those offices or the department.

Apparently, Cassidy Hutchinson is even more clean and spotless than a ham sandwich.
This Trump DOJ is pathetic.
They're criminals desperately trying to throw anything up in the air to distract their constituents who are voting on whether there will be oversight or not and they do NOT want oversight. Attacking anyone who exposed Trump for the little man he is, like Cassidy did, is the norm as they try and shut up anyone else who might dare to reveal the truth about Trump.
What's rather funny to me is that apparently, these Trump supporters are under the belief that either Trump has done nothing criminal or that every crime he committed will stay hidden. The reality is ALL of this will come out eventually even if it takes years. We will hear the behind-the-scenes tapes and the indisputable accounts of Trumps behavior in the Whitehouse and if the revelations of Biden's health being hidden were a scandal, when everything comes out about this current administration it's going to just massacre conservatives who stuck by their lord and master Trump.
I do wonder sometimes if these Trump supporters are really that naive and stupid to believe this isn't all going to come back to bite them, and then I recall many of my conversations with them and realize "Oh yeah, they are that fucking stupid".
No doubt, when it all comes out and they can't hide anymore many will change their stories and claim they were never really with him, because that's what brainless spineless creatures have always done to survive.
They went through a list of typos, bad grammar and bad interpretation of the law by several DOJ prosecutors last night.
In one case the judge made the prosecutor read the charging document out loud to the courtroom; the most important word, a verb, was missing.
The judge struck the documents from the record.
Other cases involved unsigned, misleading, legally unsupported, or procedurally flawed filings.
Cassidy Hutchinson testified in great detail for hours to the congressional J6 committee, yet all they find to charge her with was something about whether or not a Secret Service agent told her something about Trumps activities directly following the ellipse speech (which was a he said she said matter.)
Good. The entire episode is disgusting. They need to leave her alone.
