Newly-released texts show ex-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), an outspoken opponent of former President Trump, communicated with the House January 6 Select Committee’s “star witness,” former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, unbeknownst to Hutchinson’s attorney, Stefan Passantino. The communication was facilitated by ex-Trump strategic communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin but later included direct communication between Hutchinson and Cheney herself, according to the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight investigating the January 6 committee. “Cheney interacted with the witness, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, through ex-Trump strategic communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin — and later directly — in an effort to compel further testimony …” The New York Post reported. Ex-Rep. Liz Cheney talked to Jan. 6 committee ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson behind lawyer’s back, damning texts show https://t.co/AkLcL0YauO pic.twitter.com/pEXmDdVcCo — New York Post (@nypost) October 16, 2024 WITNESS TAMPERING: Former Rep. Liz Cheney reportedly began secretly communicating with a January 6th Committee witness without informing the witness's lawyer—an clear ethical violation that could cost Cheney her law license. More concerning than the ethical breach, however, is… pic.twitter.com/pk5Hw9j8J1 — @amuse (@amuse) October 16, 2024 “Though she worked behind the scenes to obtain Hutchinson’s juiciest allegations in 2022, some of which were later found to be false, Cheney never mentioned the backchannel talks with Hutchinson or Griffin in her book ‘Oath and Honor’ about the riot,” the Post added. The texts between Hutchinson, who claimed she could offer more information to the committee, and Griffin began in April 2022; the hearings started two months later. On April 28, 2022, Griffin told Hutchinson that Cheney had concerns about Cheney’s own communication with Hutchinson, writing, “Her one concern was so long ad [sic] you have counsel, she can’t really ethically talk to you without him.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 On June 6, 2022, Hutchinson sent a text message to Cheney, writing, “Hi, this is Cassidy Hutchinson. I’m sorry for reaching out this way, but I was hoping to have a private conversation with you (soon) if you are willing.” Cheney texted back, “I would be happy to. Let me know what time works for you.” “I’m free all day for a call or in-person, whichever you prefer. I really, really appreciate this,” Cheney wrote back.  That was three days before the January 6 hearings began. The Post reported that “around the same time, Hutchinson rejected Stefan Passantino as her counsel.” The Oversight Subcommittee headed by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) “accused Cheney of using Passantino as a ‘scapegoat’ — and trying to get him debarred — in order to explain away the differences between Hutchinson’s earlier testimonies and subsequent testimonies,” the Post asserted. During her testimony, Hutchinson, who was an aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, claimed that she was told by White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Anthony Ornato that Trump shouted: “I’m the f***ing president! Take me up to the Capitol now!” and “lunged” to seize the steering wheel from his driver to join the January 6 protesters. The subcommittee report stated Ornato “testified that the first time he had ever heard the story Hutchinson claims Ornato told her on January 6, was during Hutchinson’s public testimony.” The Secret Service agent driving the SUV also denied the story’s veracity. “The driver testified that he specifically refuted the version of events as recounted by Hutchinson,” the report stated, “The driver of the SUV testified that he ‘did not see him reach [redacted]. [President Trump] never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all.’” The oversight subcommittee report also noted that the January 6 select committee “hid the driver’s full testimony and only favorably mentioned his testimony in its Final Report, it did not release the full transcript.”

Local officials in Okeechobee, Florida, are facing backlash and possible penalties after enacting an emergency ordinance that temporarily banned the sale of guns and ammunition. The order was passed just before Hurricane Helene made landfall, raising significant concerns about the violation of Florida’s preemption law, which bars local governments from regulating firearms. This law ensures that only the state legislature can impose restrictions on gun ownership and sales. The controversial ordinance, which was signed by Police Chief Donald Hagan and supported by the five-member city council, prohibited public firearm possession by anyone other than law enforcement or military personnel. If your initial response is to suspend the rights of the citizens you serve, perhaps public office isn't in your wheelhouse. Florida Police Chief Still Hiding from Public After Hurricane Gun Ban Gaffe https://t.co/kXbP61QMF7 via @The Truth About Guns — Southern Slice Of Life (@Slicesouth) October 15, 2024 Although the city later claimed that the ban was a mistake—resulting from the use of an outdated form—the damage had already been done. Okeechobee officials were quickly criticized by pro-Second Amendment groups and local citizens who saw this as an infringement on their constitutional rights​. Florida Carry, a pro-gun organization, responded swiftly by sending a demand letter to the city, warning that the ordinance violated the state’s preemption law. In this letter, Florida Carry threatened legal action if the ordinance was not repealed within 30 days. The group also demanded $30,000 in damages and attorney fees to settle the matter before litigation​. Remember the Parkland shooting? 17 people were murdered. Politicians said: ban guns! Just months later, a man opened fire at another school event in Florida. But no one died, because a street vendor had a gun and stopped the shooter. Here’s why stories like that go unheard: pic.twitter.com/TmlEreO664 — John Stossel (@JohnStossel) September 13, 2024 Despite city officials maintaining that the ban was never enforced, Florida law is clear: a violation of the preemption statute does not require enforcement to trigger penalties. As such, each member of the Okeechobee City Council, along with Police Chief Hagan, could face a personal fine of $5,000, as stipulated under Florida law. Importantly, they are prohibited from using taxpayer money to cover these fines. John J. Fumero, Okeechobee’s city attorney, has argued that the fine should not apply because the ban was a result of clerical error, and no harm was done since the ordinance was not enforced. However, this defense has done little to pacify gun rights advocates, who argue that ignorance of the law is no excuse, particularly when it comes to fundamental rights. Critics of the ordinance have expressed concern that allowing such mistakes to slide would set a dangerous precedent. They warn that if Okeechobee officials escape unscathed, other municipalities may try to implement similar bans under the guise of error, only to reverse course if caught. Florida’s preemption statute is designed precisely to prevent local governments from interfering with the constitutional rights of its citizens, and it carries stiff penalties to ensure. For now, Okeechobee officials have been forced to repeal the ordinance, and they may soon find themselves facing additional legal challenges. With groups like Florida Carry keeping a close watch, the controversy serves as a cautionary tale for other cities in the Sunshine State considering similar measures during emergencies​.
