Cassidy Hutchinson recounted to the House select committee how a lawyer with ties to former President Donald J. Trump said to her that she should “focus on protecting the president.”
Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchinson in the early stages of the House select committee’s investigation, took a leave of absence from his law firm.
Sequestered with family and security, Ms. Hutchinson, 26, has in the process developed an unlikely bond with Representative Liz Cheney, the panel’s vice chairwoman.
