Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson is cooperating with a Georgia investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, according to reports.
Hutchinson, who rose to fame after becoming a star witness for the Jan. 6 committee earlier this summer, could offer investigators information on what was happening behind closed doors inside the White House as Trump sought to reverse his election loss to President Joe Biden, according to CNN. Hutchinson has already been cooperating with the Department of Justice in its separate efforts to investigate Trump’s efforts to overturn election results.
The Fulton County investigation centers on a call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the election asking him to"find" the 11,780 votes needed to flip the state in his favor. Trump has maintained it was a"perfect call" and that he did nothing wrong. A documentary filmmaker who had access to Trump in the days following the 2020 election is also expected to cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors, CNN reported in June. Fulton County officials are seeking footage filmmaker Alex Holder has of Trump, particularly of any comments he made about Gov. Brian Kemp and Raffensperger, both of whom refused the former president’s efforts to overturn election results in the state.
The revelation of Hutchinson’s involvement comes as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has suggested investigators will begin taking on a quieter appearance in order to avoid suggestions they are influencing voter opinions before the midterm elections. Willis is reportedly aiming to conclude the investigation and begin issuing indictments before the end of the year.
