Former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson claims Rudy Giuliani groped her on day of attack on Capitol
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]CNN — [/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump White House aide, claims in a new book that Rudy Giuliani groped her backstage at the rally that preceded the former president’s supporters’ insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]The 27-year-old Hutchinson, whose bombshell testimony provided a key moment in last year’s public hearings of the House select committee that investigated the events of January 6, details her time in former President Donald Trump’s administration and afterward in a book titled “Enough” set to publish next week.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Quotes from the book, first reported by The Guardian, were confirmed by CNN. Hutchinson, an assistant to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, writes that Giuliani put his hands “under my blazer, then my skirt,” at the January 6 rally.[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Giuliani political adviser Ted Goodman in a statement called Hutchinson’s claims a “disgusting lie.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“It’s fair to ask Cassidy Hutchinson why she is just now coming out with these allegations from two and a half years ago, as part of the marketing campaign for her upcoming book release,” Goodman said. “This is a disgusting lie against Mayor Rudy Giuliani—a man whose distinguished career in public service includes taking down the Mafia, cleaning up New York City and comforting the nation following September 11th.”
[/FONT][FONT=cnn_sans_display]Hutchinson writes that the encounter with Giuliani was observed by others including John Eastman, a conservative attorney who, like Giuliani, advanced false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
[/FONT][FONT=cnn_sans_display]The encounter began, she writes, with Giuliani claiming to possess evidence of voter fraud.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“The corners of his mouth split into a Cheshire cat smile. Waving a stack of documents, he moves towards me, like a wolf closing in on its prey,” Hutchinson writes.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“‘We have the evidence. It’s all here. We’re going to pull this off.’ Rudy wraps one arm around my body, closing the space that was separating us. I feel his stack of documents press into the small of my back. I lower my eyes and watch his free hand reach for the hem of my blazer,” Hutchinson writes.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“‘By the way,’ he says, fingering the fabric, ‘I’m loving this leather jacket on you.’ His hand slips under my blazer, then my skirt.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh,” she writes. “He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”[/FONT]
