The multiple bombshells unveiled at Tuesday’s surprise House January 6 committee hearing by ex-Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson were incredibly damaging to former president Donald Trump, according to one of his former top lieutenants.
Ms Hutchinson, who was the principal assistant to ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows from mid-2020 to the end of Mr Trump’s term in January 2021, told the select committee Mr Trump and his top aides were aware of police reports indicating attendees at the rally he held just prior to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol were packing weapons — including Glock semiautomatic pistols and AR-15-style rifles — but they did not care.
