Former Mark Meadows Aide to Testify
Today’s surprise hearing will feature a mystery witness, according to the House Select Committee.
Cassidy Hutchinson, the aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, is expected to testify as the surprise witness, according to Punchbowl News.
The Committee said it will “present recently obtained evidence” and receive witness testimony.
While the topic of today’s hearing has not been announced, Hutchinson is expected to discuss Republican lawmakers who sought pardons following the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

In previous hearings, the Committee played video of Hutchinson testifying that Republicans lawmakers asked Donald Trump for pardons before he left office.
Hutchinson named Representatives Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Louie Gohmert, Scott Perry, and Marjorie Taylor Greene as those who had requested a pardon after January 6 over their alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Election.
She added that Rep. Matt Gaetz had been “personally pushing” for a pardon since early December 2020 and that Congressman Jim Jordan had asked about updates in Congressional pardons, but never asked for one himself.
This hearing has been shrouded in secrecy, as the Committee gave only a 24 hour notice that it was happening. The Committee did not announce the witnesses’ identity
