"This is what we call a credibility contest, and people would have to decide who they believe," Honig said. "I think it's really important to note that another White House staffer Alyssa Farah...has said publicly that she testified to the committee about something that Tony Ornato said to her that was damning to the president and Ornato, she said, falsely denied that as well," Honig said. "If I have to decide between Cassidy Hutchinson and Alyssa Farah...and Tony Ornato, I'm coming out on Hutchinson and Farah's side." "She came across to me, using my former prosecutor lens, as very credible," Honig added. "She was careful, she's corroborated, she's backed up by other evidence. And she has nothing to gain by doing this." Hutchinson's lawyers in a statement Wednesday said "Ms. Hutchinson stands by all of the testimony she provided yesterday, under oath, to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol." Speaking to NPR's A Martinez on Wednesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who sits on the Jan. 6 committee, said Hutchinson had "no reason to make that story up" and that he considers her a credible witness. He added that if there are others with evidence, he invites them to come forward under oath. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/29/1108573335/hutchinsons-bombshell-jan-6-testimony-sways-legal-experts-and-conservative-media
