‘Hugging The Witness’?: Greta Van Susteren Questions Liz Cheney’s Appearance Of Fairness

“The Record” anchor was responding to an image of Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, being embraced by Cheney.

“If questioner (Cheney) wants to appear fair to jury (American people), it probably is not a good idea to get caught on camera hugging the witness,” Van Susteren said of the Getty Images photograph in a Politico story.

She added, “already people have very strong feelings – both ways – about this hearing and pics like this don’t help.”
