Federal grand jury declines to indict Cassidy Hutchinson

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her testimony to lawmakers about President Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on the grand jury’s refusal to indict Cassidy Hutchinson, and both tie the case to her Jan. 6 testimony. CBS News frames the story around federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., failing to secure an indictment, while CNBC explicitly describes the grand jury as rejecting a DOJ bid to indict and adds that Hutchinson testified to a House committee about Trump’s conduct, a detail not included in CBS’s extract.
