DOJ trying to indict former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson

What happened: Federal prosecutors are presenting evidence to a Washington, D.C. grand jury on whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson lied to Congress in testimony about the 2021 Capitol attack, two sources told CBS News. Why it matters: The referral reportedly came from Republican allies in the House. The Civil Rights Division, not the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office, is handling the investigation, for reasons sources did not explain.
