Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide to then-President Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, has provided compelling and damning testimony to the committee investigating the 6 January attack on the US Capitol. Some of her most vivid accounts include Trump's enraged reaction to Attorney General Bill Barr's statement that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Hutchinson also revealed that Trump had allegedly grabbed a Secret Service agent's steering wheel and neck in his demand to be taken to the Capitol on that fateful day. Hutchinson recently released a book titled "Enough," where she unveils new details about her time working in the White House, describing Trump as dangerous to democracy. In the book, she alleges that Rudy Giuliani groped her during backstage at a rally preceding the Capitol attack, a claim Giuliani denies. Hutchinson had planned to continue working for Trump after his term but was denied the opportunity, with Meadows accusing her of leaking information. She also writes about Meadows burning documents in the fireplace and her concerns about the handling of classified documents in the Trump White House. Hutchinson also recounts an incident where Trump joked about having Covid-19 aboard Air Force One, with Meadows promising to handle any accusations if they arose.
