And she told the Committee that White House lawyers were worried about criminal charges and that several members of Congress had sought pardons from Trump. These revelations and more have triggered Trump to whine about the Committee not presenting his side of the story. But that&#8217;s primarily because he has been too cowardly to show up and defend himself under oath, as all of the Republican witnesses have done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Slams the January 6th Committee For Nixing His Witnesses \u2013 Who Refused to Testify<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Contrary to Trump&#8217;s repeated lying, the Committee&#8217;s televised hearings have been watched by millions of concerned Americans. And Hutchinson&#8217;s testimony drew even more viewers than all of the other sessions, with the exception of the first one that aired in primetime. In fact, it drew more viewers than all but the last of the NBA championship games. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ca.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/cassidy-hutchinson-testimony-set-audience-225925410.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to the Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Cassidy Hutchinson testimony set audience record for a daytime Jan. 6 hearing.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;More than 13 million Americans tuned in to watch bombshell testimony from a former White House aide this week, making the Jan. 6 committee&#8217;s latest hearing its second-most-viewed thus far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Tuesday afternoon hearing, which the committee announced just a day ahead of time, featured 25-year-old Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as an aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Her dramatic testimony attracted 13,231,000 viewers across all major networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, according to numbers from Nielsen, a ratings firm. This total topped the previous four hearings, which won audiences of about 10 million to 11 million people. The first Jan. 6 hearing, on June 9, drew about 20 million viewers, but it aired in prime time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably absent from the list of networks above is Fox News. That&#8217;s because it barely contributed to the viewing totals. Fox\u2019s audience is apparently so attached to the lies that shape their alternative reality, that they will even tune out Fox News \u2013 the source of the lies that shape their alternative reality. Then, when the frightening truth-telling is over, they stream back to watch Sean Hannity and the network&#8217;s other propaganda pushers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53563\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Frightened Fox News Audience Tunes Out January 6th Hearings Even When They Air on Fox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hearings are being <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/3534309-almost-6-in-10-say-they-are-following-jan-6-panels-work-closely-poll\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">closely followed<\/a><\/strong> by a majority (58%) of Americans.

Times quoted pollster Celinda Lake saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The support for the hearings has increased over time. And what is emerging very, very strongly from the hearings is not just that [former President] Trump was responsible, but there was a faction of the Republicans, Trump Republicans, who were responsible as well. And that this was about overturning the will of the people, overturning the elections.&#8221; [&#8230;and that&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is an evolving narrative. People see it as a crime, but they also see it as a criminal conspiracy. They demand accountability, and they&#8217;re very serious about what they consider accountability. And we are seeing these numbers increase quite dramatically over the course of the hearings.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As for Trump, he has been behaving in precisely the deranged manner that is expected of such an emotionally stunted man-baby. Throughout the hearings the former reality TV game show host (who is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=45772\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">psychotically obsessed with TV ratings<\/a><\/strong>) has flung flagrant falsehoods about the unprecedented audience the hearings have generated.

What&#8217;s next?
