Tuesday June 28th, Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the Jan. 6 committee provided an inside perspective of the former president’s actions on the day of the insurrection.
The testimony of Mark Meadows’ former aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, suggests that Trump was aware that some of the attendees at his rally were carrying firearms. According to Hutchinson, Trump said, “I don’t effing care that they have weapons — they’re not here to hurt me. Take the effing [magnetometers] away and let my people in.” Following this statement, Trump instructed the crowd to march to the Capital building and “fight like hell” against the 2020 presidential election results.
Further, Hutchinson also disclosed disturbing details about how the former president responded to the crowd’s cries for Mike Pence to be hanged. She reaffirmed evidence that Trump was not only aware that the former Vice President Mike Pence’s life had been seriously endangered that day, but also that he was either careless or actively encouraged Pence’s peril.
Trump took to his Truth Social service to discredit Hutchinson. He claimed to barley have known her and also stated Hutchinson is “bad news”.
Whether or not the Justice Department decides to charge Trump with a crime may depend on the testimony Hutchinson gave. Due to the newly disclosed material, the hearings surrounding January 6 have been extended, and Hutchinson will most likely give additional testimony.
