Schiff says Jan. 6 committee has new leads after Hutchinson testimony
Source: CBS News
Washington Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday the panel is pursuing additional leads after Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump White House aide, provided bombshell testimony last week about what was going on within the White House in the days before and during the attack.
"There's certainly more information that is coming forward. In terms of whether that will materialize into particular witnesses on this topic or that topic, we're going to wait and see, but we are following additional leads," Schiff said in an interview with "Face the Nation." "I think those leads will lead to a new testimony."
The congressman said the prospect of obtaining new information from others was part of what motivated the committee to have Hutchinson testify publicly, as members were hoping that "seeing her courage would inspire them to show the same kind of courage."
A top aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Hutchinson told the committee that former President Donald Trump wanted to go to the Capitol while Congress was counting state electoral votes to reaffirm President Biden's win and was furious when the Secret Service would not allow him to. She also described hearing Trump during the rally at the White House Ellipse say he knew some supporters who had gathered were armed and could march to the Capitol with their weapons after his speech.

(15,337 posts)If I were caught up in this treasonous plot I'd be sweating it. But not for long. I've learned that whatever I've done wrong, I'd be found out. My mother taught me that early and as often as necessary.
Apparently many people that gravitate towards RW extremism or (r)epuglconism didn't have mothers, or the mother's messages were awful.
I'm hoping the ones that don't know how to own up and help this country heal will be sweating it big time, forever.

If people keep coming forward, these hearings are going to continue into late summer or early fall.

I'd be pleased if the hearings continued as we get closer to the mid-terms.

Hope they wind up in adjoining suites in the cross bar hotel.
