Liz Cheney Accused of Ethical Breach in Jan. 6 Committee Witness Handling

Text messages reveal Cheney communicated with Cassidy Hutchinson without her attorney's knowledge, raising legal ethics concerns.

Liz Cheney, former vice chair of the January 6 Committee, allegedly communicated with key witness Cassidy Hutchinson without her lawyer's consent.
The communication was facilitated through Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump aide, before turning direct between Cheney and Hutchinson.
Cheney's actions have been criticized as a potential violation of legal ethics, as she advised Hutchinson to change her legal representation.
Hutchinson's testimony included unverified claims about Donald Trump's actions on January 6, which were later contradicted by other witnesses.
The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, released the communications, sparking further controversy over the committee's conduct.
