Rep. Adam Kinzinger defends Cassidy Hutchinson as a credible witness

Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Sunday that he found former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson credible in her bombshell testimony about Jan. 6, 2021, and that people who want to dispute her account are free to testify.

“Cassidy Hutchinson testified under oath. We find her credible,” Mr. Kinzinger, Illinois Republican, told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Mr. Kinzinger is a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Ms. Hutchinson, 26, had a front-row seat to White House reactions to the Capitol attack and offered testimony that painted then-President Donald Trump in a very poor light.
