Grand Jury Declines Indictment for Cassidy Hutchinson Over Jan. 6 Testimony

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., rejected a request by U.S. prosecutors to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson regarding her testimony about President Donald Trump's actions during the January 6 attack on the Capitol. According to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke anonymously, Justice Department officials attempted but failed to secure an indictment for Hutchinson after she described hearing that Trump was aware of potential violence yet proceeded with his speech directing supporters toward the building. Hutchinson served as a key witness before the special House committee investigating January 6 and stated in her 2022 testimony that Trump told people not to worry about weapons or security checks, urging them instead to let him enter.
