The former White House official said that she saw a revolving door of Trump allies and intelligence staff visiting the Situation Room in the last weeks of Trump's presidency, delivering boxes full of potentially classified documents days before the violent insurrection.
The January 6 committee was told by Cassidy Hutchinson that she helped coordinate the delivery of documents from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to the White House. The documents were delivered in a dolly of boxes, according to a transcript released Tuesday by the January 6 committee.
Hutchinson told the committee that they got all the documents on December 31st. I had to sign for them after they arrived in a few boxes. The White House counsel was summoned down by him.
She had previously testified that she saw Meadows burn documents in a fireplace. In May, she told the committee that she made multiple copies of documents.
She said that HPSCI staffers met with former Trump lawyer Pat Cipollone and that she didn't personally review the documents. She said that Kevin McCarthy was involved in the conversations.
"I don't know if it was the Situation Room that brought them or if it was a staffer from the Hill, I don't know how to release them," Hutchinson said. I'm not sure if they have to go through the FBI or the CIA, or if they could have sent it to the Situation Room.
She didn't know why the documents were going to the White House.
She said that HPSCI was aware of the contents of the documents. I don't know if it's something that the Republican HPSCI staffers had looked into or if it's more the intention to bring them to the White House to look into them.
They need to bring them to the White House to look at them. Hutchinson was interviewed by Liz Cheney.
She said that she didn't take part in the meetings between the White House officials and Republican allies despite her security clearance.
