President Trump already knew on the morning of January 6, 2021, that armed protesters were on their way to Congress. This is explained by Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an adviser to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows in a hearing in Congress. “Trump asked the security guards to remove the metal detectors around the congress and let the protesters in,” Hutchinson said. Trump and his chief of staff should then have known that someone. protesters carried both knives and firearms. “Trump said the protesters were not there to harm him, and that they should be allowed in,” Hutchinson said. Extraordinary hearing The committee of inquiry was to have a two-week break from the hearings, but yesterday the message came about an unexpected additional hearing today. According to the committee, they must present “newly acquired evidence and testimony”. Cassidy Hutchinson (25) was the assistant to Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s chief of staff. As his assistant, she witnessed many important events surrounding the storming of Congress on January 6. In the last ten days, she is said to have come to the committee with new information, according to CNN. This is the first time one does not know what comes out in advance in the hearings, which has contributed to the excitement around the meeting.

Cassidy Hutchinson opened the hearing by telling about a meeting Trump’s legal adviser Rudy Giuliani had with her boss, on January 2. Four days before the storming of Congress. After the meeting, she followed Giuliani to the car. – He was elated and said: Cassidy, are you excited for January 6th. It’s going to be a big day. Hutchinson said she asked Guiliani what he meant. – We’re going to Congress. It will be magnificent, Giuliani replied, according to the woman. She went back to the West Wing of the White House and asked her boss Mark Meadows what was going to happen on January 6th. – Are we going to the congress ?, she asked – There’s a lot going on, Cassidy. Things could get really bad on January 6, Meadows replied, according to Hutchinson. She further said that she heard the militant groups Oath Keepers and Proud Boys mentioned in meetings in the White House in the next few days. Seized phone Last night also came the news that the police have seized the mobile phone of John Eastman, one of Trump’s lawyers. Cassidy Hutchinson has previously testified privately, and videos of this explanation have been shown in hearings. She has previously informed the investigative committee that she was present when Trump responded appreciatively to the protesters’ call to “hang Mike Pence”. Mike Pence was the vice president of Donald Trump. According to the committee, Pence’s life was in danger during the storming of Congress. Hutchinson has also testified that several Republican senators, including Matt Gaetz, have asked for pardon after trying to help Donald Trump overturn the presidential election. The January 6 committee investigates “the facts, circumstances and causes of the terrorist attack on January 6, 2021”, it is stated in the resolution that lays down the guidelines for the hearings. The committee cannot prosecute anyone, but can make recommendations to the Ministry of Justice. What emerges in the hearings is thus not legally binding. According to the committee of inquiry, Mike Pence’s life was in danger during the storming of Congress.
