Description
It’s hard to imagine how Tuesday’s surprise hearing of the House Jan. 6
committee could’ve been more damning for President Donald Trump.
With vivid stories told in measured tones, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former
special assistant to the president and aide to chief of staff Mark
Meadows, “stitched together every element of the panel’s case against
Donald Trump,” our Kyle Cheney and Nicholas Wu write. “The Capitol riot
committee has painted the former president’s potential criminal
culpability for his effort to overturn the election in stark hues:
investigators have portrayed Trump fuming atop an increasingly
conspiracy-addled West Wing and working to corrupt the peaceful transfer
of power at any cost.”
