Handwriting analysis expert catches Cassidy Hutchinson in apparent false testimony | 21 Oct 2024 | Handwriting analysis of a tweet draft is the latest piece of evidence contradicting the testimony of star Jan. 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson who has come under fire from House Republicans for her role in the investigation led by the Democratic-controlled Jan. 6 Select Committee. In her public testimony before the special committee in June 2022, Hutchinson told Congress, under oath, that she wrote the note for a proposed tweet as her boss, President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Eric Herschmann, a personal attorney to Trump, dictated it to her. Immediately after her public testimony, Herschmann disputed Hutchinson's claim, according to the House Republicans. Now, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight said it ordered a handwriting analysis from an expert who determined was consistent with Herschmann's writing, not Hutchinson's. "This new evidence provided by an independent, Certified Questioned Document Examiner, not only contradicts Ms. Hutchinson's numerous claims that she penned the note, but also exposes the Select Committee's willingness to accept all her testimonies without corroboration or further investigation," Chairman Barry Loudermilk said in a press release.
