"According to public reports, numerous sit-down interviews, and Cassidy Hutchinson’s memoir Enough, you spoke to Ms. Hutchinson about her testimony to the Select Committee during the summer of 2021. A review of the documents provided by the Select Committee resulted in questions about the veracity of Ms. Hutchinson’s public and private testimony to the Select Committee," Loudermilk wrote. "Ms. Hutchinson specifically cites her conversation with you as one reason her testimony changed so dramatically."
The former Trump administration aide was a star witness for the Jan. 6 committee, set up by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Hutchinson had testified that former President Trump physically lunged at Robert Engel, who was his driver, when the agent refused to drive him to the U.S. Capitol. Trump and others linked to the story have denied her claims.
Griffin, who served as White House director of strategic communication under Trump, recalled on CNN's "The Lead" in September 2023 that she acted as a back channel between Hutchinson and the Jan. 6 committee before her third closed-door interview and subsequent bombshell testimony.

"There are no texts, emails, or verbal exchanges that have been verified where Ms. Hutchinson discussed these explosive claims, apart from your conversation, before testifying to the Select Committee," he wrote. "Therefore, due to your proximity to and influence on Ms. Hutchinson around the time her testimony changed so drastically, I believe you may have important [information] related to this investigation."
In addition to asking for her communication records, the GOP-led committee also asked Griffin to sit for a voluntary transcribed interview sometime this month.
Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Griffin, Hutchinson and Cheney for comment.
