In an interview that aired on Sunday, Cheney said that the House panel investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol wouldn't sit by and let her endure anonymous attacks.
While sitting down with ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, the Wyoming Republican expressed his confidence in Hutchinson and the credibility of future hearings.
Cassidy Hutchinson was an example of bravery and courage in the face of real pressure.
The committee won't stand by and watch her character be assassinated by men who are claiming executive privilege. She said that they look forward to more testimony under oath on a lot of issues.
According to Hutchinson, Donald Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of his SUV when he demanded to be taken to the Capitol.
Trump called Hutchinson "bad news" and claimed that he knew the staffer who was on the day of the riot.
Cheney told Karl that the panel has a lot of evidence, including Trump's anger.
I'm going to leave it there. She said there will be more detail about the president's activities on that day.
The hearings were not designed to be political, but to make the public aware of what happened on January 6 so they could make their own judgement calls.
She said that the goal of the hearings was to make sure that Americans understood what happened.
I think it's also the case that there's not a single thing that I have learned in this investigation that has made me less concerned and I think that a man like Donald Trump can never be.
