At the end of the hearing, after a bomb was dropped by Hutchinson, Cheney claimed that Trump’s allies had sent messages that were apparently intended to intimidate witnesses. Cheney pointed to messages allegedly sent to a witness, one of which read: “Someone informed me that you have your statement tomorrow. He wants me to let him know that he is thinking of you. He knows that you are faithful and you will do the right thing when you come in for your deposit “. Cheney, the committee’s vice-chairwoman, did not name the people who allegedly received the messages, but several sources told CNN and Punchbowl that Hutchinson was one of the recipients. Several lawmakers called the messages evidence of falsification and called for action, including Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), A member of Parliament’s select committee, calling it “dangerous behavior.” Newsom Signs Basic Plastics Bill in California Legacy McConnell Threatens Semiconductor Bill Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) Echoed his sentiment, saying: “It is a crime to falsify witnesses, it is a form of obstruction of justice.” He added, “The committee will not tolerate it and we have not had the opportunity to fully investigate or discuss it fully, but it is something on our agenda.” Hutchinson, who was the only witness at Tuesday’s hearing, made several bomb allegations during her testimony, including that Trump knew the protesters had guns when he told them to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
