During testimony before the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 Riots, Cassidy Hutchinson (an aide to ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows) testified that Mr. Giuliani and her boss had inquired about pardons.
The pardons she requested were for the Jan. 6 riots, when pro-Trump demonstrators broke into the U.S. Capitol in protest of lawmakers who had certified the election.
Trump attorney John Eastman asserted Fifth Amendment rights two weeks ago when he testified in front of the committee. He told Mr. Giuliani via email Jan. 6 that “I have decided that I should go on the pardons list, if it is still in progress .”
Robert Costello was Mr. Giuliani’s attorney. He previously denied that Mr. Giuliani.
“I never asked for a pardon. My client President Trump asked me to decline a pardon. The former New York mayor stated that I hadn’t done anything wrong and therefore no pardon was necessary.
Mr. Meadows also denies that he asked for a pardon. He said through a spokesperson, “He never sought a Pardon and never intended to .”

Mr. Giuliani was present before the committee in May for nine hours, although it’s not known if he answered any questions regarding presidential pardon requests.
Mr. Meadows declined, however, to give evidence before the committee.
