Former Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) allegedly spoke with a witness who was being questioned by the Jan. 6 Select Committee without an attorney present.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House director of strategic communications and assistant to former President Donald Trump, introduced Cheney to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Mark Meadows, who was the former White House chief of staff, according to a press release issued by House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI).

Unbeknownst to Hutchinson’s lawyer, Cheney spoke with him through Griffin.

Following her “second transcribed interview,” Hutchinson supposedly contacted Griffin in April 2022, and the two allegedly got together at Griffin’s Georgetown townhouse. According to the news release, Hutchinson told Griffin at this encounter that “she had additional information she could give to the Select Committee.”

“Farah Grifffin welcomed Hutchinson to talk on April 26, 2022, at her Georgetown townhome after Hutchinson contacted her. According to testimonies made by both Hutchinson and Farah Griffin, Hutchinson informed Farah Griffin that evening that she had further material she could give the Select Committee. Farah Griffin promised to “[contact] Cheney on [Hutchinson’s] behalf concerning scheduling another interview” during their talk. In her never-before-heard account, Hutchinson said in her new testimony that President Trump agreed with protesters who were yelling “Hang Mike Pence.”

Though Cheney’s “one concern was so long as Hutchinson had a lawyer, Cheney was unable to “truly morally” speak with her without her lawyer, Stefan Passantino, present, Griffin told Hutchinson in a message sent via the encrypted messaging app Signal.

After that, Griffin allegedly “acted as an intermediary for Cheney,” helping to “coordinate Hutchinson’s third transcribed interview” with the knowledge of her lawyer.

Additionally, according to reports, Hutchinson and Griffin “colluded to create a false story” to explain to Hutchinson’s lawyer why she “needed to do a third transcribed interview” before the Select Committee on January 6.

“Hutchinson testified to a number of unconfirmed and uncorroborated stories in her May 17, 2021, transcript that easily fit the Select Committee’s thesis that President Trump is dangerous and exclusively to blame for the events of January 6. Hutchinson never disclosed this “new information” in his two prior testimony before the Select Committee.”
