GOP Lawmakers Warned About Embarrassing Texts From January 6 Witness Cassidy Hutchinson
Recent reports are shedding light on some of the behind-the-scenes struggles within the GOP, particularly concerning Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Mark Meadows who became a key witness in the January 6th investigation. In 2022, Hutchinson made bombshell revelations during her testimony, providing a detailed account of what transpired in the White House on the day of the Capitol riot. Her testimony painted a vivid picture of the chaos inside the Trump administration and its refusal to act as the rioters stormed the Capitol.
Now, as part of a new effort to investigate the events surrounding January 6, it has come to light that some lawmakers in the GOP were concerned about the potential release of embarrassing communications if Hutchinson were subpoenaed again. According to reports, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office had strong reservations about subpoenaing Hutchinson. They feared that it could bring to light a series of explicit text messages exchanged between Hutchinson and some members of Congress. These messages allegedly contained sexual content, with members attempting to solicit sexual favors from her. While no one has publicly disclosed the full contents of these messages, the reports indicate that the existence of such texts was discussed within the GOP, with one of Johnson’s aides warning that subpoenaing Hutchinson could expose this "embarrassing information."

This new revelation is striking because it reflects the political maneuvering surrounding the January 6th probe. Hutchinson’s testimony had already made her a target of Republican efforts to discredit the investigation. In June 2022, she had provided critical testimony about Trump’s actions before and during the riot, including his refusal to allow National Guard support and his enraged response to the Secret Service when they didn’t take him to the Capitol. She also described the chaotic conversations in the White House, with officials debating how to respond to the rioters’ demands to hang Vice President Mike Pence.
Despite the controversy surrounding Hutchinson’s testimony, some Republicans, like Rep. Barry Loudermilk, attempted to launch a counter-investigation to challenge the findings of the January 6 committee. However, it appears that those efforts were stalled, in part due to concerns over the potential fallout of subpoenaing Hutchinson, which could bring more damaging revelations to light.
The situation underscores a larger issue within the GOP, as some members seem determined to rewrite the narrative of the January 6th events, even if it means burying the uncomfortable truths that might be revealed in the process. The mention of sexual texts in connection with Hutchinson has added another layer to this already complex and contentious situation, raising questions about the lengths to which some lawmakers will go to avoid public scrutiny.
