According to a Washington Post report, Republicans declined to subpoena Mark Meadows’ aide Cassidy Hutchinson last year in their counter-attack of the January 6 Committee probe because her testimony could be profoundly embarrassing.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk had suggested issuing a subpoena for Hutchinson’s testimony, but a couple of Mike Johnson aides tamped down the idea.
According to the WaPo report, a Johnson aide warned Loudermilk that a subpoena risked exposing “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors.” In an email, another Johnson staffer reportedly told Loudermilk’s office that Hutchinson could “potentially reveal embarrassing information.”
Johnson denies having anything to do with the decision. “I had nothing to do with that, the decision not to issue a subpoena to Cassidy Hutchinson was made by the chairman of that committee, and that’s Barry Loudermilk.”
However, Johnson is full steam ahead with another January 6 investigation headed by the Trump sycophants.
The new committee will be chaired by Loudermilk, whose previous investigative committee concluded that Liz Cheney should face charges for investigating Trump and his role in the insurrection.
Johnson said the subcommittee will “uncover the full truth that is owed to the American people.”
