“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that he did not remember talking to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Jan. 6 about the prospect of former President Trump going to the Capitol that day as Congress certified 2020 presidential electoral votes,” The Hill reports.
Said McCarthy: “If I talked to her, I don’t remember it. If it was coming up here, I don’t think I wanted a lot of people coming up to the Capitol. But I don’t remember the conversation.”
