Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, gave explosive testimony to the Jan. 6 committee about Trump’s role that day. She was a White House staffer who previously interned for Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Steve Scalise.
Hutchinson told Congress she was the principal aide to Meadows in his role as chief of staff, a position he assumed in the final months of Trump’s presidency.
"We spent a lot of time on the Hill," Hutchinson said of her role. "We did a lot of presidential travel engagements. But mostly I was there to serve what the chief of staff needed, and a lot of times what the chief of staff needed was a reflection of what the president's schedule was detailed to do that day."
"Ms. Hutchinson was in a position to know a great deal about the happenings in the Trump White House," Cheney said during the June 28 hearing. Hutchinson worked for the Office of Legislative Affairs and said that her days often began with a strategy meeting with White House senior staff.
