Jan 6 hearings today: More evidence against Trump emerging, Adam Kinzinger says

Trumps hits out at former White House aide

A member of the House committee investigating the 6 January riots of last year at the Capitol has revealed that “more evidence is emerging” that lends support to recent testimonies that established Donald Trump wanted to join an armed mob.

Adam Kinzinger said: “There’s information I can’t say yet.” But he added that “we certainly would say that Cassidy Hutchinson has testified under oath, we find her credible.”

Meanwhile, January 6 committee vice-chair Liz Cheney has rejected the idea that prosecuting a former president would inflame political tensions in America. Looking the other way from potential criminal activity would lead to a “graver” threat, the congresswoman said.

As speculation about shifts in support grows, Mr Trump has lashed out at Ms Hutchinson on Truth Social and in a Newsmax interview. Calling her a “whack job”, Mr Trump questioned whether she had in fact told the truth under oath. He also claimed that she asked for a job when he decamped to Florida when he left office.

Also, it was reported by the New York Times that Mr Trump may announce a 2024 bid for the White House as soon as this month.

Former federal prosecutor says Trump will be ‘indicted’

After Cassidy Hutchinson’s explosive testimony, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner believes that the former president will be “indicted” for his role in 6 Jan riots at the Capitol last year.“Guns have been smoking all around Donald Trump for years,” Mr Kirschner said in a video posted on Youtube.

“And for whatever reason, there have been no criminal charges yet brought against Donald Trump. That will change. It has to change if we care about the survival of our democracy. He will be indicted.”

His remarks come after Ms Hutchinson’s testimony in front of the House select committee last week.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump has railed against her and called her a “total phony” and has even denied many of her claims.

More evidence against Donald Trump emerging

A member of the House committee investigating the 6 January riots of last year at the capitol building has revealed that “more evidence is emerging” that lends support to recent testimonies that established Mr Trump wanted to join an armed mob.

“There will be way more information and stay tuned,” said Adam Kinzinger.

“There’s information I can’t say yet. We certainly would say that Cassidy Hutchinson has testified under oath, we find her credible, and anybody that wants to cast disparagements on that, who were firsthand present, should also testify under oath and not through anonymous sources,” he said.

In another interview, another committee member, Democrat Adam Schiff said: “We are following additional leads. I think those leads will lead to new testimony.”

Trump lashes out at Cassidy Hutchinson again

On Truth Social early Sunday, the former president once again lashed out against Cassidy Hutchinson, the January 6 committee witness who revealed a number of bomshells in her recent testimony before the panel.

Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social: “So Cassidy Hutchinson was all set and ready to go to Florida with the Trump Team long after January 6th. She knew I did nothing wrong. She was a big Trump fan – but my people didn’t want her. What happened? Why did she so dramatically change? All lies. I guess even she didn’t believe her own bull.…!”
