Trump’s former WH ethics lawyer told Hutchinson to give misleading testimony to 1/6 committee

What this is is witness tampering, and this is pretty serious stuff. But, when it comes to things Trump, it's a veritable smorgasbord of crime. The irony of this is that it is an 'ethics lawyer' so one wonders how could an ethics attorney do something unethical?

Trump's 'Save America Pak' paid for Cassidy's attorney, Stefan Passantino, who apparently advised Cassidy Hutchinson to not remember something she did, in fact remember. Cassidy dropped Passantino and got a new lawyer. Passantino denies he did this.

This story is also run on several news outlets including the conservative Washington Examiner which only occurs when three sources are confirmed so any anti-CNN
kill-the-messenger rebuttals are summarily dismissed as lacking merit given this fact (so, find another argument, like disputing the claims of the article, thank you).

Exclusive: Trump’s former White House ethics lawyer told Cassidy Hutchinson to give misleading testimony to January 6 committee, sources say

... CNN has learned that Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in the Trump White House, is the lawyer who allegedly advised his then-client, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, to tell the committee that she did not recall details that she did, sources familiar with the committee’s work tell CNN.

When asked about pressure on Hutchinson after Monday’s hearing, committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren, told CNN: “She was advised to say that she didn’t recall something when she did. So that’s pretty serious stuff.”

The committee summary stated that the panel “is aware of multiple efforts by President Trump to contact Select Committee witnesses. The Department of Justice is aware of at least one of those circumstances.”
