Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony at the Jan. 6 panel on Tuesday is nothing but lies. Hutchinson, a former senior aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, made damaging allegations against Trump during a House committee hearing.
The claims include that Trump knew some of his supporters were armed on Jan. 6, but he didn’t care because “they’re not here to hurt me.” After being told that people at the Ellipse rally were carrying guns, Trump still urged his supporters to march to the Capitol where the Electoral College certification ceremony was taking place.
Hutchinson also testified that Trump was so angry he couldn’t join his supporters on Capitol Hill as the uprising unfolded that he tried to grab the wheel of the presidential limousine, known as ‘The Beast’. ” and pounced on a Secret Service agent who tried to calm him down.
Additionally, in a report by the 100PercentFedUp:
Following Hutchinson’s “dramatic” testimony, ABC News reported that sources close to former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann have claimed that he, and not White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, wrote a handwritten note regarding a potential statement for then-President Donald Trump to issue during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The publication added.
“The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,” a spokesperson for Herschmann told ABC News Tuesday evening.
“All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann,” the spokesperson said.
🚨 A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel.

But former President Donald Trump said he hardly knows who she is. Trump took his Truth Social platform and dismissed the testimony before the Jan. 6 saying,
“I hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and ‘leaker’), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down,” Trump wrote. “Why did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news!”
And when debating the now-disproved testimony of White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson with anti-Trumpers Sandra Smith and John Roberts, Bret Baier, a hack for Fox News, has never been very effective at concealing his contempt for President Trump, but yesterday, he truly let the cat out of the bag.
Baier called Hutchinson’s claims “compelling” while pointing out the alleged quote from Meadows, saying Trump “didn’t care” that his supporters were chanting “hang Mike Pence” on Capitol Hill because he believes that the then vice-president “deserves it”.
Baier then dismissed the series of messages Trump wrote on Truth Social while Hutchinson gave his testimony – which in itself was another sign that the former president was aware of the seriousness of his claims.
“Cassie Hutchinson is under oath on Capitol Hill. The president is on Truth Social making his statements,” Baier said.
LOL
Fox News anchor Bret Baier just completely dismisses Trump’s complaints about Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony:

The 100 Percent FedUp noted:
In order to refute criticism of his testimony, Baier utterly disregards the fact that not a single member of the J6 Witch Hunt Committee likes or supports President Trump.
He never brings up the fact that Congressmen Jordan or Banks were not allowed to take part in the show trial because they had previously supported President Trump by the false, unprecedented, one-sided never-Trump lawmakers.
Well, a night of humiliation for Bret Baier.
