“Perry asked Trump for a pardon following the attack on the U.S. Capitol.”
House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry was called out again yesterday for being “central to the planning” and execution of January 6th by former Trump staffer Cassidy Hutchinson.
Perry has spent over two years dodging subpoenas for his involvement in the deadly assault on the Capitol, while he and his election-denying colleagues continue to mock questions about their involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Every day, voters are reading a new story about Scott Perry’s integral involvement in the deadly insurrection on January 6th. Come next November, Pennsylvanians will hold Perry accountable for his role in trying to overturn the election.”
WITF: Rep. Scott Perry “central to planning of Jan. 6,” says former Trump White House aide
Robby Brod | October 26, 2023
-
“Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry played a key role in helping former President Trump craft his plan to stay in office following his 2020 election loss.”
-
“During an episode of WITF’s The Spark on Wednesday, Hutchinson told host Scott Lamar that Perry was ‘central to the planning of Jan. 6,’ referring to Trump’s plan to stay in office – despite losing the 2020 Election.”
-
“She also reiterated that Perry asked Trump for a pardon following the attack on the U.S. Capitol.”
-
“‘And central to the planning of operating the Justice Department officials to execute a plan that Donald Trump wanted. And what Donald Trump wanted was to essentially shred the Constitution in any way that he could to stay in power.’”
-
“She said Perry owes it to Central Pennsylvanians to explain his knowledge of Trump’s plan to stay in office following President Biden’s 2020 election victory.”
-
“‘I would implore him to go under oath to dispute whether or not he asked for a pardon, or whether he thinks he did anything wrong,’ Hutchinson said. ‘But I think it is also important for central Pennsylvanians to know that Scott Perry was central to the planning of Jan. 6.’”
-
“Perry refused a subpoena to testify before the Jan. 6 Committee and was referred to the House Ethics Committee for sanctions – which he never received.”
-
“Perry acknowledged introducing Trump to Jeff Clark, a former assistant U.S. attorney general sympathetic to Trump’s debunked election fraud claims. Clark first came to Trump’s attention after Perry recommended him to former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, for whom Hutchinson was an aide.”
-
“Perry has acknowledged making the introduction and said he had ‘worked with Assistant Attorney General Clark on various legislative matters.’”
-
“‘When President Trump asked if I would make an introduction, I obliged,’ Perry said.”
