Former aide to Mark Meadows to testify at Jan. 6 hearing

Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as a senior aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is scheduled to testify Tuesday at a Jan. 6 committee hearing, three sources tell NBC News.

In recorded testimony last week, Hutchinson told investigators that a group of GOP lawmakers had sought presidential pardons after the insurrection at the Capitol, including Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Mo Brooks of Alabama.

Hutchinson and her attorney did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.

Punchbowl News first reported Hutchinson as the expected witness.

The panel was unexpectedly announced on Monday that it would hold a hearing on Tuesday to present new evidence and hear witness testimony, but did not specify who would be offering testimony like it did for previous hearings.

The committee had previously said it would take a break on its presentation of evidence to the public until mid-July.

The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 p.m. According to an advisory sent out Monday, the committee sent out Monday.
