Speaker 1: Okay, so let's now move away from the unsourced conspiracy smears against Cassidy
Hutchinson, the January six committee witness. And let's look at a specific
claim that's being made about something she said that is allegedly not true. There are now reports
that the note that was put up on the screen during Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, which she said,
I wrote that that's my handwriting. There is a contradictory claim being made that that is not
her handwriting. So let's evaluate this. This would be this is specific and substantive. So
and it's sourced. So there's no issue here with evaluating it, ABC News reports. Trump
White House Attorney Disputes Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony about a handwritten note. Former Trump
White House lawyer Eric Hershman is claiming that a handwritten note regarding a potential statement
for then-President Donald Trump to release during the January six attack was written by him during
a meeting at the White House that afternoon, not by Cassidy Hutchinson, sources familiar
with the matter tell ABC News. So what's this all about? At Tuesday's January six committee hearing,
Liz Cheney displayed a note, which Hutchinson said. I wrote that she said she saw it and she
said, That's my handwriting. I wrote that. Sources familiar with the matter say that Eric Hershman,
an attorney, had previously told the committee he wrote the note. A spokesperson for Hirschman said
to ABC News Tuesday night, quote, The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written
by her was in fact, written by Eric Hirschman on January six, 2021. All sources with direct
knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Hirschman.
At the hearing on Tuesday, Hutchinson testified about the note, quote, That's a note that I wrote
at the direction of the chief of staff on January six. Likely around 3:00, Liz Cheney asked. And
it's written on the chief of Staff note card. But that's your handwriting. Ms.. Hutchinson. And Ms..
Hutchinson said, That's my handwriting. Okay. This is a specific disagreement, and it is not really
subject to the squishiness of some of the other claims. Well, we're willing to testify that the
claim about Trump trying to grab the wheel didn't happen well. How can you testify? Something didn't
happen if you. Okay. That's sort of like squishy and subject to some kind of interpretation.
This is just like, whose handwriting is it? Who wrote the note? And if she didn't write the note,
you know, people tend to to know their own handwriting. When I look, you know, down here,
I have all sorts of cope. I have copious notes on a legal pad. I can immediately see that this
is all my handwriting. If I saw different handwriting, it would be very evident to me.
People tend to be very well acquainted with their own handwriting. She said it was her handwriting.
Someone else is saying, No, I wrote that. Well, let's figure it out. And if she was wrong about
that, we would want to know. Did she deliberately lie about that? Was she confused about her own
handwriting? Which would be weird. It would be something to figure out. But understand
that every aspect of this is that is being used simply to attack her by people who barely even
know who she is. As an example, Sean HANNITY last night seized on this entire handwriting thing
and he said, Did Katherine really write it? Her name's Cassidy. They don't even know her name.
They don't care. They just want to attack. Speaker 2: Bring in a handwriting. I bring
in handwriting experts and they can determine, was it Hirshman or
was it the woman from yesterday, Katherine? Speaker 1: Right. Was it Katherine who wrote
it while Sean? It was not Katherine who wrote it because no one named Katherine is involved
here. They don't even know her name. But to the extent that this is a substantive claim,
is it her handwriting? Is it someone else's? Eric Hershman says, I wrote that. Let's figure out who
wrote it and then let's figure out what the confusion is. No problem with that whatsoever.
