'He was so excited,' the fmr. Trump aide said. “He was talking about the crowd that was assembled and how ... excited he was for the following day' before asking the staffers 'how, if I recall, he said that we could make the RINOs do the right thing.'
Hutchinson, Cheney discuss whether story about Trump in SUV constituted 'water cooler chatter'In an exchange with Cheney during her testimony, Hutchinson said that she’d been reluctant to describe a notorious incident of Trump’s behavior in an SUV on Jan. 6 as “water cooler chatter” because there were, in fact, no water coolers in the West Wing — and that if she’d described it as such, critics might allege she was being untruthful.
“I’ve really enjoyed working with you all, and I’m sure that you’re going to do great in the incoming Biden administration,” Hutchinson recalled Meadows, who’d played a central role in advancing Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election, telling the agents. Hutchinson said she felt Passantino had steered her in “the wrong direction” and she needed to “course correct” herself.
“It was after I read all of this, where he had talked about, like, how he fought the moral struggle, where he felt like he still had to be loyal to the Nixon White House, but he talked about a lot of the same things that I felt like I was experiencing,” she testified. “It wasn’t an identical situation, but it’s — it’s the emphasis he placed on the moral questions that he was asking himself resonated with me.
She recalled speaking with her aunt and uncle, whom she “had not spoken with in years because they are QAnon fans,” about the matter. They looked to refinance their house “to free up money so I could not have to go back to Trump world,” she said. “And he just didn’t get it. And I didn’t expect him to. But I just left there feeling defeated,” she continued.'The less you remember the better': Hutchinson says lawyers urged her not to share key details with committeeFormer Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told the Jan. 6 committee in a September interview that her former lawyer urged her not to share key details about Jan. 6th with the committee.
