DENVER — Colorado U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert met with then-President Donald Trump’s White House officials before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, while they discussed what options the vice president had when faced with certifying the 2020 election, a high-level aide said.
That aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, worked for Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and spoke to the Congressional Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in February and March.
Hutchinson told committee members that she recalled several meetings in which Meadows and those participating “had come in prepared with information about ways that they think the vice president could approach certifying the Electoral College votes,” court filings show.
