In the hours after Cassidy Hutchinson delivered bombshell testimony to the Jan. 6 committee Tuesday, former President Trump and his allies rushed to attack the former White House staffer.
Hutchinson, who served as an aide to Mark Meadows, said Trump was aware that some of his supporters were armed when he urged them to march to the Capitol. She also testified that Anthony Ornato, then the deputy White House chief of staff, told her the president was so “irate” that the Secret Service would not drive him to the Capitol that he reached for the steering wheel and lunged at an agent.
Trump and his allies have seized on media reports of unnamed Secret Service sources rejecting those statements to paint Hutchinson’s sworn testimony as unreliable. So far, though, none of the people who have disputed Hutchinson’s story have done so under oath.
Now members of the Jan. 6 committee are challenging her critics to follow her lead and testify under penalty of perjury.
“The lies and fabricated stories being told to the partisan Highly Unselect Committee, not only by the phony social climber yesterday, but by many others, are a disgrace to our, in serious decline, Nation,” Trump wrote.
“No cross examination, no real Republicans, no lawyers, NO NOTHING. Fake stories and an all Fake Narrative being produced, with ZERO pushback allowed. WITCH HUNT!”
An anonymous Secret Service official told CNN that Ornato denies telling Hutchinson that Trump grabbed the steering wheel or an agent.
Jody Hunt, a former assistant attorney general under Trump who’s now working as Hutchinson’s legal counsel, called on others with knowledge of her testimony to come forward and testify under oath.
Mick Mulvaney tweeted. “ I know her. I don’t think she is lying.”

“Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the most brave and honorable people I know,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) wrote in one tweet. He added in another: “Watching the desperation of Trump world to discredit the brave Cassidy Hutchinson reminds me of…. Everything trump does when he is busted and cornered.”
This is a Kafka novel written on Bizarro World.
You left out the part where she’s a lying sack of crap. The secret service has refuted her “testimony”, She didn’t write the note she claimed to write and the person she claimed told her about the “lunging” said he never said that.
Her story is so implausible as to be a complete joke, except of course for the mouth breathers at MSNBC.

Trump lunging to take the wheel of the car is laughable and the secret service said it didn’t happen. If he threw his lunch against the wall when he found out he had lost the election that would be understandable. Hillary Clinton threw things at her election loss too. And Trump didn’t want to “hang” Pence. Ludicrous.
I admit that I didn’t read the article, cuz I don’t do the LA Times. I wonder if she will charged with perjury, or does hell have to freeze over first? 🤓
Hell would have to freeze over first.
liz and cassidy looked they were getting together later for a drinkie poo
my in depth legal analysis of her testimony is that Trump had better pay for that plate or he is toast
Discredited at both the moment the decision was made to assist in conspiracy to commit treason, and when the mouth began moving.
The right had nothing to do with her discrediting herself.
This is another foolishly blatant leftist spiralling lie -
The leftist sociopaths simply cannot tell the truth.
Nothing about the left has any credibility (which includes RINOs).
> none of the people who have disputed Hutchinson’s story have done so under oath.
Strange how being under oath isn’t a requirement when the left disputes something a conservative says.
She’s 26 years old. People exaggerated to her and she made up the rest in her mind.
I figured as much.
No ‘campaign’ required, LATimesIdiots.
Cassidy Smollett discredited her own self along with the Jan 6th Commission’s failure to even remotely consult the two Secret Service agents that were claimed to be involved....who have come out and asked to be placed under oath so that they could REFUTE the BS Cassidy Smollett spewed!!
No doubt Ms. Hutchinson has a big pot of gold at the end of her rainbow.
The SS is not going to go on that committee and be grilled about working with Trump.
However, I don’t quite understand why they don’t post something that contradicts her statements.
Until someone comes out and does so, then she is going to be believed.....Ask Bret Bair...
I am waiting patiently for the unselect commitee to call them in to testify.
They can't just show up and demand to be heard, we know that won't work, given the committee's refusal to allow any cross examination by the Trump team, or witnesses for the defense.
They need to call in the Secret Service officers and swear them in, but they never will. That will hurt their agenda and they have no interest in finding the truth. They will never take the risk.
