Mr. Cipollone is said not to have contradicted any of the previous testimony given to the committee, while also giving them new information, according to committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren. The former White House official became a central part of the investigation after he allegedly warned former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that Trump would be charged with “every crime imaginable” if the defeated president went to Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. trying to stop. the certification of the election of Joe Biden. It was not clear to what extent Mr. Cipollone would be able to cooperate with the committee, but the time he spent with them — almost all day — has prompted speculation about what he might have said. “What do you think is going through his mind right now?” Phang asked Trump’s niece about her uncle on Saturday. “There is an even greater amount of damning testimony coming out. It’s worth noting that he didn’t attack Pat Cipollone before he testified to the committee.” “To say Donald is terrified is right, it’s also an understatement,” Ms Trump responded. “I think this might be the first time in his entire life that even he can’t deny the walls that are closing in. The amount of evidence that we’re seeing coming out of these committee hearings is overwhelming,” he added. . The former president’s niece, a psychologist and author, noted that as more witnesses come forward they tend to be closer to him in terms of their level of access to the White House. “Even more troubling for him are the witnesses who are coming forward,” Ms. Trump said. “They are increasingly important in terms of their access and position in his administration. No wonder he would pull his punches when it comes to Pat Cipollone.” Mr. Cipollone was a highly sought-after witness by the committee, especially after Ms. Hutchinson’s bombshell testimony that she tried to prevent Donald Trump from challenging the results of the 2020 election and worked to prevent the defeated president from joining the violent mob that besieged the Capitol. . Two more of the commission’s public hearings are scheduled for this coming week, Tuesday, July 12 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, possibly during the hour, although this has yet to be confirmed.
