Without objection let's get started with today's #January6thCommitteeHearings

(And be sure to join us after for the Lawfare debrief: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OyKA…)

Witness today: Cassidy Hutchinson, former aide to Mark Meadows.

Screengrabs of the Committee's visual presentation of Mark Meadows' office and the Oval Office. Taken from the Jan 6 Committee YouTube livestream.

Screengrab of texts between Cassidy Hutchinson and Tony Ornato.

The "he was furious" refers to Trump.

The "mags" refers to the metal detectors that rally attendees were required to go through to ensure they are not armed.

Something tells me that the Lawfare team is going to have a lot to say in our #January6thCommitteeHearings debrief tonight.

Join us at 4:30 ET: twitter.com/i/spaces/1OyKA…

Screengrab of Trump's tweet now under discussion.

#January6thCommitteeHearings

Screengrab of "note that [Hutchinson] wrote for the Chief of Staff on January 6" around 3pm, intended to be said by Trump.

Largely dictated by Meadows, to H's knowledge the statement was never issued.

Screengrabs of Sean Hannity text to Mark Meadows (and Kayleigh Mcenay), and a tweet that Hannity sent to Meadows related to the 25th amendment.

Committee showing statements from witnesses who were contacted by former colleagues, calling these interactions attempts to influence witnesses to speak untruthfully.

And that ends the hearing for today.

A lot to unpack, we hope you will join the Lawfare team at 4:30pm ET for a debrief on Twitter Spaces.
