Trump White House counsel's Jan. 6 interview didn’t contradict other witnesses, Kinzinger says
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, spent two hours divulging details about what went on behind the scenes leading up to, during and after the Jan. 6 attack.
"Mr. Cipollone said something to the effect of, 'Please make sure we don't go up to the Capitol, Cassidy, keep in touch with me. We're going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen,'" Hutchinson said. Kinzinger was asked on"This Week" about a report that Trump may wave executive privilege for his former adviser Steven Bannon, who was charged with contempt of Congress for rejecting a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 investigation. "I will just say, on a high-level position, anybody that wants to come in, that knows information to talk to the select committee, we welcome them to do so," Kinzinger said."We welcome them to do so under oath.
"On the margins, yes, it is puncturing through," Kinzinger said."And I think what's most important is, again, what does history say in five or 10 years? Because I can guarantee -- well, I can get about as close as I can to guaranteeing that -- in about 10 years, there's not going to have been a single Trump supporter that exists anywhere in the country. It's like [Richard] Nixon.
