Hutchinson was a White House aide during the final days of the Trump administration.
During a surprise hearing of the January 6 committee, Hutchinson claimed White House Deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato told her former President Donald Trump tried to commandeer the presidential Suburban during the capitol riot and became upset when Secret Service agent Bobby Engel tried to stop him.
Hutchinson claimed that Trump “said something to the effect of, ‘I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now.’”
A Fox News staffer reportedly said to the Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona, “Yeah, I don’t know how you possibly spin this,” after Hutchinson’s testimony.
Fox News reporters carried a similar message on air.
Fox News’ Bret Baier called Hutchinson’s testimony “jaw-dropping.”
“”I’ve covered politics a long time,” Baier said. “I don’t think there has been testimony like this — that is kind of jaw-dropping, in a way — on the inside workings of a White House in crisis after, you know, at this moment, January 6th, that we have seen since Watergate.”
Fox News host Geraldo Rivera praised Baier’s “fair, accurate, complete, and balanced,” assessment of Hutchinson’s testimony. Rivera also called Hutchinson’s testimony “damning” and a “bombshell,” before saying that she “deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
Fox News Anchor Bret Baier is one of my heroes. His assessment of today's bombshell, damning testimony of Trump-aide Cassidy Hutchinson was Right-On; fair, accurate, complete and balanced.
He's right down the middle.

Whorealdo deserves some concrete overshoes.
Brett’s a$$ is still sore from future governor Lake
Correct, if in the context of lying under oath multiple times with hearsay non evidence in a set up testimony where she clearly was offered immunity by the fake committee.
This “fake but accurate” testimony will be yet another purge of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Many heads will roll because of this. As big as Rather and Kinkos IMHO.
Did BB ever have credibility? If so, when?
D-bags here still carry water for Fux News.
They like a good anal pegging.
Nothing more than Vindman 2.0. A Schiff specialty....
Yup.
Lake cleaned his clock.
I thought she sounded like a robot who clearly had been coached, but maybe that’s just me.
Specious credulity in the extreme.
I’ve given Grevaldo enough time for one Life. No more.
No one should be surprised by FOX falling for this obvious hoax. They went along with all the anti-Trump hoaxes between 2015-2020.
Fox News didn’t “fall” for Hutchinson‘s testimony. They lapped it up. Like the rest of the mainstream media, Fox wants Trump to fail. He’s not DC insider enough.
Fox is just not as obvious in their bias as the rest are.
Remember, you’re testifying under oafs.
Pretty pathetic when Biden is more lucid than FOX commentators.
The story is so insane, that Fox wouldn’t necessarily “fall for it”, as much as they would “try to propagate lies”.
