Members of the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol attack by supporters of Donald Trump promised further revelations, following on an ex-White House staffer’s portrayal of the former president’s outbursts of rage.
“We are following additional leads,” Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “I think those leads will lead to new testimony.”
“We’re in discussions with Mr. Cipollone’s counsel,” Schiff said. “I’m hopeful that we can work out bringing him in for testimony.” It’s “hard to imagine someone more at the center of things,” he said. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the panel, said Hutchinson’s testimony had prompted additional witnesses to come forward, though “it’s not even just Cassidy.”In her testimony, Hutchinson said Cipollone urged her to make sure Trump wouldn’t go to the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 with his supporters, some known to be armed, warning that, “We’re going to get charges of every crime imaginable if we make that movement.
