Description

Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone "did not contradict" testimony of previous witnesses when he appeared on Friday before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, Rep. Zoe Lofgren said. Lofgren, a Democratic congresswoman and member of the panel, told CNN that the committee had also "learned a few things" after interviewing Cipollone for nearly eight hours. The congresswoman said details of Cipollone's testimony would be rolled out in upcoming hearings. Lofgren noted that Cipollone appeared voluntarily and said that he answered various questions in a candid, careful, and honest way. However, she noted that just because he did not contradict previous testimony, it did not mean he confirmed all of it, particularly Cassidy Hutchinson's bombshell testimony. Lofgren said that there were situations in which Cipollone was not present or "couldn't recall with precision." This means that everything that Cassidy Hutchinson testified about what Cipollone told her was the truth!
