ENTERTAINMENT‘The View’ Host In Hot Water Legally After House Committee Recommends Prosecuction
A co-host of ABC’s ultra-liberal morning show “The View” has been implicated in a newly released U.S. House report recommending that Liz Cheney be criminally investigated for witness tampering, a finding that suggests she may soon need to lawyer up.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the milquetoast moderate member of the five co-hosts and a former Trump spokeswoman, participated in “coaching” sessions with Cassidy Hutchinson, a witness who testified during Cheney’s congressional hearings on the federal agent-infested January 6th, 2021, breach at the Capitol. In his report, House Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) concludes that Farah Griffin played a notable role in helping Hutchinson prepare her public answers — without a lawyer present. Such “witness tampering” amounts to a federal crime, the report states.
“In the months prior to Hutchinson’s explosive private and public testimony, Cheney communicated with Hutchinson, both directly and through an intermediary—Alyssa Farah Griffin—while Hutchinson was represented by her attorney, Stefan Passantino. The Select Committee conducted six transcribed interviews of Hutchinson in total. Passantino represented Hutchinson for the first three interviews,” the Oversight Committee said, according to the Gateway Pundit.
In a series of text messages between Farah Griffin and Hutchinson released on social media, it’s evident both shared a mutual hatred for President-elect Donald Trump, something they bonded over while preparing to lay the blame on him for J6. “Hmm ok. That was definitely Liz’s direction,” Farah Griffin wrote on May 2, 2021, a sign she was aware of which direction Cheney was hoping to take her investigation. After theorizing how her testimony might come across, Hutchinson asks back, “Can you tip off Liz?” “I am happy to tip liz off,” Farah Griffin replies.
