Tuesday’s testimony before the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection revealed stunning new details about the day’s events and former President Donald Trump’s actions. Cassidy Hutchinson, the one-time top aide to former chief of staff Mark Meadows, told Congress, Trump knew his supporters were carrying weapons and had a potential for violence. Yet he insisted on leading them to the Capitol and incited the insurrection as a means to block the transfer of power—even as his top advisors warned him the movement was illegal. Now with the Jan. 6 hearings underway, many are left wondering what happens next. Can any of the testimony be used to build a criminal case against the former president.
Former New Jersey state Attorney General John Farmer joins NJ Spotlight News to discuss that and much more.
