Hold onto your hats, folks—former special counsel Jack Smith just dropped a bombshell that could shake up the narrative around Jan. 6, 2021.

During a recent deposition before the House Judiciary Committee, Smith cast serious doubt on the Biden-era testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide whose dramatic claims about former President Donald Trump have been a centerpiece of the Democrat-led Jan. 6 Committee's story, as Fox News reports.

Hutchinson, once an aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, became a star witness with her public testimony in June 2022, alleging that Trump knew some rally supporters might be armed and that warnings of potential violence swirled inside the White House.

Smith Challenges Hutchinson's Hearsay Claims

One of her most jaw-dropping assertions was that Trump, in a fit of frustration, tried to grab the steering wheel of a Secret Service vehicle to head to the Capitol, defiantly declaring his authority as president.

Yet, Smith’s testimony, revealed in a transcript published Wednesday, paints a far less convincing picture of Hutchinson’s reliability as a witness.

He pointed out that much of what she said wasn’t based on firsthand knowledge, a flaw that could render her statements inadmissible in a court of law.

Hearsay or Hard Evidence? Smith Weighs In

Smith didn’t mince words, stating, "If I were a defense attorney and Ms. Hutchinson were a witness, the first thing I would do was seek to preclude some of her testimony because it was hearsay," highlighting a critical weakness in her accounts.

Let’s be real—hearsay is the kind of evidence that gets laughed out of a courtroom faster than a progressive policy at a conservative town hall.

Smith further noted that Hutchinson often relayed second- or even thirdhand information, a far cry from the direct testimony needed to build a rock-solid case.

Contradictory Accounts Undermine Key Witness

He also revealed that his team interviewed individuals Hutchinson spoke with, including a Secret Service officer present during the alleged incident, who described Trump as furious and eager to go to the Capitol but offered a version of events that didn’t match her story.

Smith emphasized, "And that officer, if my recollection is correct, said that President Trump was very angry and wanted to go to the Capitol, but the version of events that he explained was not the same as what Cassidy Hutchinson said she heard from somebody secondhand."

This discrepancy raises eyebrows—when even the folks in the room tell a different tale, it’s hard to take such explosive claims at face value.

Political Bias or Genuine Oversight?

Republicans have long questioned the credibility of the Jan. 6 Committee, pointing out that its only GOP members were outspoken critics of Trump, which hardly screams impartiality.

Smith, for his part, stood by his investigative tactics during the over-eight-hour deposition, defending actions like subpoenaing lawmakers’ phone data and pursuing a revised indictment against Trump after the Supreme Court set limits on presidential immunity.

Still, one can’t help but wonder if the rush to paint a certain picture of Jan. 6 has led to some inconvenient truths being sidelined—truths that Smith’s testimony now brings into sharp relief.
