The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol released its full final report Thursday night. You can read it here: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23514956/the-full-january-6-committee-report-text.pdf

The committee also released select materials earlier Thursday, including interviews from last September with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson, a White House aide to former President Trump and his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, in which Hutchinson was supplied a “pro-bono” attorney from “Trump world” who told her to downplay her role in, and knowledge of, the events surrounding the insurrection as, essentially, a secretary. 

“You really have nothing to do with this,” the attorney told Hutchinson. “It’s Mark’s (Meadows) fault that you’re even involved in this. We’re completely happy to be taking care of you now. We had no idea you weren’t being taken care of last year. So we’re really happy that you reached back out to us. But the less you remember the better.”

Hutchinson found a different attorney to represent her in the investigation.
