The report, based on anonymous\u2062 sources and\u2064 document reviews by The Washington Post, suggests that aides to House\u2064 Speaker\u2064 Mike Johnson advised against subpoenaing Hutchinson to prevent attention from being\u2062 drawn to potentially scandalous\u200c messages. Johnson later stated that Hutchinson\u2019s voluntary participation\u200c was sufficient, and he had no involvement in the decision to avoid a subpoena, attributing it instead to committee chairman Barry \u2062Loudermilk. Meanwhile, Loudermilk stated he was never instructed not to call Hutchinson, and emphasized that she was cooperating with the investigation. The investigation previously referred former Rep. Liz Cheney for potential \u2063witness tampering\u200d regarding her communications with Hutchinson.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A new report claimed that a Republican-led investigation of the Capitol incursion detoured around former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for fear of exposing messages from lawmakers to her seeking sex.<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson rocketed to fame when she appeared before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&rsquo;s handpicked Jan. 6 committee to spew since-debunked tales about President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-demolishes-jan-6-star-cassidy-hutchinson-withering-statement-leaked-text-messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump&rsquo;s activities<\/a> on the day of the Capitol incursion.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, as Republicans conducted their own investigation into the events of that day and the way the Pelosi-picked panel conducted itself, an aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson warned lawmakers not to open a Pandora&rsquo;s box by subpoenaing Hutchinson, according to a report in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/01\/23\/cassidy-hutchinson-lawmakers-texts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Post based its story on sources it did not name, as well as documents the report said its reporters had seen.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that the disclosure about the messages to Hutchinson grew out of an investigation led by Republican Rep.
