House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has said he does not remember speaking with former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson during the January 6 attack on the Capitol, despite her sworn testimony attesting to the conversation.
Mr McCarthy was asked during his weekly press conference on Friday if he told her not to allow then-president Donald Trump to follow through on his promise to accompany a riotous mob of his supporters to march to the US Capitol to pressure Congress not to certify Mr Trump’s 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.
