‘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.

Hutchinson, who was formerly the Special Assistant to the President and Coordinator for Legislative Affairs for White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadow, testified as Cheney’s “star witness,” Loudermilk writes in his report, and as such was critical in assigning blame to President-elect Trump for the violence which occurred that day. Among other revelations, Hutchinson testified that she had seen Trump reach across the driver of his vehicle and lunge for the wheel in an effort to return to the White House at a time when Secret Service agents had deemed it unsafe. In her testimony, Hutchinson described being “disgusted” by Trump’s actions, calling them “unpatriotic” and “un-American.” Following the end of the J6 committee, Hutchinson stated in a televised interview that she corresponded with Farah Griffin for more than a year, “backchannel[ing] for a third interview without my former attorney’s knowledge at the time, with one of my good friends, Alyssa Farah Griffin.”

“Hutchinson’s messages indicate that she and Farah Griffin colluded to create a false story about why Hutchinson needed to do a third transcribed interview for the Select Committee,” the report goes on. It also notes that Hutchinson began a “dramatic change in testimony” following interference by Cheney and Farah Griffin.

If Farah Griffin is in legal jeopardy as a result of Loudermilk’s investigation, it would be another devastating blow for ABC, which earlier this week agreed to pay President-elect Trump $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit. The network’s executives are already contemplating a total overhaul of “The View” in a bid to add more pro-Trump voices. They have also forced far-left hosts like Sunny Hostin to read legal disclaimers on-air after they made false statements about Trump and other conservatives like Matt Gaetz.
