The Jan. 6 committee warned of potential witness tampering by Trump loyalists at the close of Tuesdays hearing. According to Punchbowl News, one of the examples of witness intimidation provided by the committee was sent to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
At the close of Hutchinsons bombshell testimony Tuesday afternoon, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) revealed that the committee was aware of multiple instances in which witnesses testifying before the committee have been pressured by President Trumps allies in attempts to manipulate their testimony.
Cheney read a statement from a witness who said they would stay in good graces in Trump World if they continued to be a team player. The witness was also told to keep in mind that Trump does read transcripts while giving their deposition. In a second example, a witness was called before their deposition and told that he knows youre loyal, and youre going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.

It is not clear which of the examples discussed by the committee was provided by Hutchinson, or when the message was sent. Hutchinson sat for interviews with the committee on four occasions prior to appearing publicly on Tuesday.
