Remember Liz Cheney? Well, for a woman so pious, it’s pretty amazing to read reports that she allegedly communicated with a January 6 Select Committee witness without a lawyer present.
It’s against the rules. And it could even be against the law. Let’s see what happens.
At a glance:
- Former Rep. Liz Cheney reportedly communicated with witness Cassidy Hutchinson without her attorney’s knowledge.
- Hutchinson later switched attorneys, hiring ones recommended by Cheney.
- Cheney’s actions have sparked accusations of undermining the credibility of Hutchinson’s testimony.
A recent report has revealed that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) communicated with Cassidy Hutchinson, a witness in the January 6 Select Committee hearings, without her attorney’s knowledge. This revelation has raised concerns about potential ethical violations and the integrity of Hutchinson’s testimony.
According to a press release by House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), Cheney used Alyssa Farah Griffin as an intermediary to communicate with Hutchinson. After Hutchinson expressed that she had additional information to provide the committee, Griffin reportedly facilitated contact between Hutchinson and Cheney. Despite being aware of Hutchinson’s legal representation by attorney Stefan Passantino, Cheney proceeded to communicate directly with Hutchinson.

Hutchinson later switched attorneys, reportedly hiring lawyers recommended by Cheney, and provided new testimony that included unverified claims about President Trump’s reaction to the January 6 riots. This testimony, given in a secretive fourth interview, became central to the committee’s narrative. Critics argue that Cheney’s involvement in helping Hutchinson switch attorneys and communicate without her original counsel raises questions about the credibility of Hutchinson’s new claims.
The situation has prompted accusations that Cheney and the January 6 Committee deliberately crafted a narrative to ensure Hutchinson’s credibility, with Passantino becoming a scapegoat for allegedly offering Hutchinson faulty advice. This development has added further controversy to the handling of witnesses and testimony during the committee’s investigation into the January 6 events.
This is wild. We’ll report back when we learn more.
