Get you up to speed: Grand jury declines to indict Trump critic Cassidy Hutchinson over Jan. 6 testimony
Federal prosecutors were unsuccessful in their attempt to secure an indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson regarding her testimony about the January 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, as confirmed by multiple sources. The grand jury, handling the investigation under the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, did not reach a consensus on the proposed indictment against Hutchinson.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is overseeing the investigation into Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony. On Tuesday, a litigator confirmed that the grand jury had not reached a consensus on the proposed indictment during a hearing unrelated to this case.
Federal prosecutors were unsuccessful in their attempt to secure an indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson regarding her testimony about the January 6 Capitol attack, with the grand jury declining to indict her. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is reportedly overseeing the investigation, but no official comments have been made regarding the next steps in the proceedings.
What remains unclear — It is unknown which specific aspects of Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony are under scrutiny by prosecutors.
Grand jury decides against indicting Cassidy Hutchinson over Jan. 6 testimony
Federal prosecutors were rebuffed in their effort to secure an indictment against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her testimony related to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to four sources briefed on the grand jury proceedings.
The Justice Department has not yet responded to a request for comment.
The Washington Post first reported that the grand jury declined to indict Hutchinson.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has been handling the Hutchinson investigation, WTX US News previously reported, and during a hearing on another matter Tuesday, a litigator with the division, Neville Hedley, told U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui that the grand jury had not concurred on the proposed indictment. Hedley did not say who the defendant was, but multiple sources confirmed it was Hutchinson.
Hutchinson, who was a top aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, angered President Trump’s allies and his base when she testified in 2022 before the House select committee investigating the 2021 Capitol attack.
In depositions and congressional testimony, Hutchinson said that Mr. Trump and Meadows were warned on Jan. 6 that some of his supporters were carrying weapons to the Capitol, but Mr. Trump said he didn’t care — and he tried to order officials to remove the magnetometers at the rally where he spoke that morning.
She also relayed a story she said had been told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, in which Mr. Trump grew incensed after his lead Secret Service agent would not drive him to the Capitol after the president’s speech to supporters. During that address on the White House Ellipse, he had encouraged them to go to the Capitol, where Congress was confirming the Electoral College results from the 2020 election. He told supporters that “after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you.”
Hutchinson testified that Ornato had told her that in the car, Mr. Trump lunged at the steering wheel. Her account was later contradicted by Mr. Trump’s driver, who in sworn testimony claimed that the president never tried to grab the steering wheel.
WTX US News could not determine precisely which parts of Hutchinson’s testimony were being scrutinized by prosecutors. According to media reports, House Republican allies of the president made the referral to the Justice Department.

Get you up to speed: Ukrainians return to hellscape they called home after ceasefire agreed | News World
A temporary ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4am Moscow time, facilitated by Melania Trump, allowing humanitarian aid to reach affected areas. Ukrainian Parliamentary Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets confirmed that “both sides are observing the ceasefire,” with no incidents reported since 3am.
The temporary ceasefire took effect at 4am Moscow time and will last until 10.59pm local time on Sunday. Ukrainian Parliamentary Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets stated that both sides are observing the ceasefire, with no reported violations since its commencement.
The temporary ceasefire in the Kherson Region, brokered by Melania Trump, allows for significant humanitarian assistance and has led to a surge in public activity, with longer queues at bus stops and residents running errands for the first time in months. Ukrainian officials have assured that both sides are currently observing the ceasefire, with Dmytro Lubinets confirming no violations have been reported since it took effect.
What remains unclear — It is not known how many humanitarian convoys will be allowed to pass through during the temporary ceasefire.
Ukrainians return to homes following ceasefire agreement amid ongoing conflict
Ukrainian’s have been returning to their homes to see what is left after years of rocket strikes.
With just the River Dnipro separating Ukrainian and Russian troops,Oleshky has been a key strategic town where Putin’s advance has ground to a halt.
Now a temporary ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow has been brokered by First Lady Melania Trump, allowing respite and much-needed supplies to come through.
Residents returned on the roads as they were being cleared of mines carrying shopping bags of vital supplies back to hollowed-out shells of apartment blocks.
As night descended, Ukrainian Parliamentary Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets said: ‘Both sides are observing the ceasefire. I made a verification call to the person on our side who monitors Russian compliance with the ceasefire.
‘I was told that there had been no incidents or violations since 3am. Russian forces have not advanced, attempted to seize any islands, or sought to improve their positions. None of that has happened,’ Lubinets said.

Somehow there are as many as 2,000 people still living in the frontline city refusing to leave their homes.
‘Those who want to leave for Ukraine will receive dedicated assistance: they will be accompanied, met upon arrival, provided with accommodation, and helped in Ukraine. All government agencies are working on this under our coordination,’ Lubinets said.

Melania Trump said on X: ‘The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4am Moscow time.
‘Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid.
‘The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.’
Oleshky is about 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Kyiv. It sits on the Russian-occupied side of the Dnipro River, across from the Ukrainian-held city of Kherson, the regional capital.
Ksenia Arkhipova, who fled the city in 2022 and now, as a volunteer, helps others leave, said some residents have told her they fear Russian officials may ‘filter out’ evacuees with pro-Ukrainian views.
‘People say they are genuinely afraid that the Russians will check their phones and look for evidence of Ukrainian relatives or ties to the Armed Forces of Ukraine — something they have done repeatedly in other occupied territories,’ Arkhipova said.
Under international law, the occupying power — Russia — must ensure civilians under its occupation live safely. Ukraine has repeatedly tried to negotiate with Moscow to establish a humanitarian corridor for evacuations and aid delivery.

In Kherson, the streets were busier than usual and long lines formed at bus stops as residents used the truce to run errands.
‘It’s unusual when it’s this quiet,’ said Oleksandra Kostenko, who runs a small coffee kiosk. ‘We’re used to it being loud — the buzzing, the booming.’
But she fears Russia will use the lull to stockpile drones.
‘It will end, and they will terrorise us,’ Kostenko said.
Kherson bears the deep scars of war — windows boarded up, anti-drone nets stretched over streets and shattered glass littering sidewalks.
The local ceasefire is due to continue until 10.59pm local time on Sunday.
