Pat Cipollone to Testify Today

“Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone will testify today behind closed doors to the Jan. 6 select committee, one of the most highly anticipated moments in the panel’s probe,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Sources tell us that the select committee does not have an agreement with Cipollone about what investigators can or cannot ask him. Prior to Hutchinson’s testimony, the panel had discussed an arrangement with Cipollone for an on-the-record interview, but Cipollone backed away from it… Cipollone is expected to claim executive privilege over conversations he had with Trump, but there is plenty that the committee is interested in outside of that category. For example, we expect Cipollone will be asked about conversations with former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.”

“The select committee is expected to hold two public hearings next week – a midday hearing on Tuesday, followed by a Thursday night primetime session.”
