A bar complaint has been filed against former Congresswoman Liz Cheney by attorney Stefan Passantino, who previously represented Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness in the January 6 investigation.
The complaint, filed with the D.C. Bar, accuses Cheney of unethical communication with Hutchinson without Passantino’s knowledge or approval during her preparation for further testimony before the Democrat-led January 6 Select Committee.
The complaint comes after a Just the News report revealed that Cheney, who served as vice chairwoman of the committee, allegedly communicated with Hutchinson via the Signal messaging app without informing Passantino.
Passantino has stated that he was unaware of the communications at the time and had not authorized them.
He is now calling for the bar to conduct an ethics investigation into Cheney’s actions.
These private communications were uncovered during an investigation by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
This subcommittee is conducting a broader investigation into the security failures surrounding the events of January 6 and the subsequent partisan investigation led by the committee.
