In a tense behind-the-scenes struggle, a top aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly warned colleagues against subpoenaing Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump administration staffer, as part of a renewed Capitol insurrection investigation, fearing the move might expose sexually explicit text messages sent to her by lawmakers.
Johnson's office reportedly raised red flags last June during internal deliberations. "Sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors" could surface, the aide cautioned in correspondence and interviews reviewed by The Washington Post.
