A Trump White House ethics lawyer reportedly advised former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson to give misleading testimony while appearing before the Jan. 6 committee earlier this summer.
Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in the Trump administration, reportedly told Hutchinson to tell committee members she did not recall certain details they were investigating even if she did remember, sources familiar told CNN.
Passantino denied allegations he advised Hutchinson to mislead the committee, noting he acted “honorably, ethically, and fully consistent with her sole interests as she communicated them to me.”
