Alyssa Farah Griffin, the supposed “moderate” voice on ABC’s The View, has found herself in hot water after a U.S. House report linked her to potential witness tampering in the January 6th hearings. The report, spearheaded by House Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), alleges that Farah Griffin acted as a go-between for Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson, the infamous J6 Committee’s “star witness.” This revelation could have serious legal consequences for Farah Griffin, casting a dark cloud over both her reputation and ABC’s embattled morning show.
The report outlines that in 2022, Cheney directly communicated with Hutchinson through Farah Griffin, despite Hutchinson being represented by her attorney at the time, Stefan Passantino. Such interactions without legal counsel present are highly unethical and may constitute a federal crime. According to Loudermilk’s findings, Farah Griffin engaged in “coaching” sessions with Hutchinson to shape her testimony, all while coordinating with Cheney to push a predetermined narrative against President-elect Trump.
Text messages between Farah Griffin and Hutchinson reveal their mutual disdain for Trump and suggest that Cheney’s investigation was anything but impartial. In one exchange, Farah Griffin explicitly acknowledges Cheney’s influence, writing, “That was definitely Liz’s direction.” When Hutchinson asked if Cheney could be tipped off about their plans, Farah Griffin responded, “I am happy to tip Liz off.” These messages raise serious questions about the integrity of the J6 hearings and suggest a coordinated effort to weaponize testimony against Trump.
Hutchinson’s sensational claims, including the bizarre allegation that Trump lunged for the steering wheel of his vehicle, were instrumental in the J6 Committee’s attempt to paint Trump as responsible for the day’s chaos. Yet, as Loudermilk’s report indicates, Hutchinson’s narrative shifted dramatically after her secret interactions with Cheney and Farah Griffin. The report also suggests that these “coaching” sessions may have contributed to Hutchinson’s dubious claims, which were later refuted by the Secret Service.
For ABC, this scandal couldn’t come at a worse time. The network recently paid Trump $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit, and the potential legal trouble facing Farah Griffin adds another layer of turmoil. Executives are reportedly considering a major shake-up of The View, including bringing on more pro-Trump voices and tamping down on the far-left rhetoric that has landed the show in hot water. Hosts like Sunny Hostin have already been forced to issue on-air legal disclaimers for spreading misinformation about Trump and other conservatives.
If Farah Griffin does face prosecution, it will serve as yet another reminder of how the J6 Committee was less about truth and justice and more about political theater. And for The View, it may be a sign that the days of unchecked, anti-Trump narratives are coming to an end.
