Sources familiar with the matter said that the lawyer, Eric Herschmann, had previously told the committee that he had penned the note
The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is hearing testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide in Donald Trump's White House.
Hutchinson, a former top aide to Meadows, said that Meadows handed her the note card and a pen and started dictating a potential statement for Trump to release amid the Capitol riot. Hutchinson also said that Herschmann had suggested changing the statement and to"put 'without legal authority.'" In response to Herschmann's claim, a spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee said,"The committee has done its diligence on this and found Ms. Hutchinson's account of this matter credible. While we understand that she and Mr. Herschmann may have differing recollections of who wrote the note, what's ultimately important is that both White House officials believed that the President should have immediately instructed his supporters to leave the Capitol building.
Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Mark Meadows, says Meadows told her "something to the effect of...things might get real, real bad on Jan. 6," following a Jan. 2 conversation she had with Rudy Giuliani that Pres. Trump would go the Capitol on the 6th.
