Former top aide Hutchinson claims that Meadows handed her a note card and pen during the Capitol riot and began dictating a possible statement for Trump to release.

According to Hutchinson, Herschmann suggested revising the statement by adding the words "without legal authority."

"All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann," the spokesperson said.
