The lawyer who originally represented former Mark Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the Jan. 6 Select Committee has won a default judgement in his suit against the government.
In December, Stefan Passantino sued the government alleging that the House Democrat-led Jan. 6 investigation violated his rights to due process and tarnished his reputation for uncritically reproducing Hutchinson’s claims about his legal representation of her.
The government failed to respond to the complaint by the deadline, April 15. Instead, it filed a request for an extension on the last day, which was denied.
