WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into ex-Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for allegedly lying to Congress in testimony about the 45th president’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, The Post has learned.

A federal grand jury was empaneled earlier this week to hear evidence and witness testimony, a source familiar with the probe said.

The investigation, under the auspices of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, was first reported by Punchbowl News, which also claimed Hutchinson has not yet received a subpoena to appear.

The Post reached out to Hutchinson for comment. Reps for the DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
