WASHINGTON — Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to ex-President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, was the key focus of Tuesday’s Jan. 6 House committee hearing, where she quickly took on a high-profile role.
Hutchinson, 25, offered detailed accounts of Trump’s knowledge of armed supporters in the crowd during his speech at the Ellipse before the riot, and his desire to go to the Capitol with them.
Hutchinson began working at the White House in 2018, according to The New York Times. Before then she was an intern for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., according to Forbes.
