trump funded attorne discouraged her from share with committee what you knew here is some moments from he testimony with the kind of legal that buys trump lawyer were giving at the time. mark meadows advisor ben williamson generally said to me, though, that mr. meadows along with pencil tierney said tha something to the effect of, don t recall is a completely acceptable answer to give th committee for questions. the committee doesn t know wha you can and can t recall joining us once again as forme u.s. attorney barb mcquade barb, thanks for coming back just don t leave me for th next year. when it comes to these transcripts, i am now traine because of that, cassidy hutchinson transcript to vie any answers like i don t recal with a healthy amount of skepticism, that said, the fac that mike pompeo, the secretar of state, can t remember any o the key events of january 6t including whether or not the secretary of state was reachin out to international partner seems pretty farfetched.
