   Right-wing strategist Steve Bannon, a prominent Donald Trump   
   ally, floated the possibility of a "criminal referral" for   
   Cassidy Hutchinson being sent to the Justice Department after   
   her testimony Tuesday before the House's January 6 committee.   
      
   Cassidy, a former aide to Mark Meadows, Trump's White House   
   chief of staff, testified under oath about a series of events   
   and conversations that occurred with top Trump administration   
   officials and the president on and around January 6. Some legal   
   experts have called her testimony a "smoking gun" demonstrating   
   Trump's criminal culpability, while he and his allies have tried   
   to undermine Hutchinson's credibility.   
      
   Bannon, who served as the chief executive of Trump's 2016   
   campaign and then as a chief strategist to the former president,   
   touted the possibility of a "criminal referral" against   
   Hutchinson during a Thursday segment of his War Room podcast   
   with former Trump White House official Boris Epshteyn.   
      
   "And I think Jody Hunt, the lawyer [for Hutchinson], should be   
   disbarred," Bannon said. "What they did with this young woman is   
   outrageous—and they're using her. And they're going to cast her   
   aside quickly because of what happened."   
      
   He asked Epshteyn, "Are we going to see some criminal referrals   
   here, sir?"   
      
   "We absolutely should. A criminal referral is absolutely   
   appropriate," the fellow Trump ally responded. Epshteyn went on   
   to say that Hutchinson had "lied under oath" and suggested that   
   she had committed "perjury."   
      
   Trump and his allies, as well as some others involved in the   
   incidents described, have pushed back against and rejected key   
   parts Hutchinson's testimony.
