Ex-Trump Aide Says She Put Cassidy Hutchinson in Touch With Cheney

Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah revealed on Thursday morning that she was the one who helped Cassidy Hutchinson break out from Trump world and encouraged her to reach out to the Jan. 6 House committee.

Hutchinson, a top aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, dramatically testified this week that Donald Trump and his allies willfully attempted to orchestrate an armed coup. She also relayed a story told to her by then-White House Deputy Chief of Staff of Operations Tony Ornato that an “irate” Trump “lunged” at his Secret Service detail when they wouldn’t take him to the Capitol after his Jan. 6 speech.

Farah, who is close personal friends with Hutchinson, stunned CNN’s New Day when she said she “put her in touch with” committee vice-chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) a couple of months ago. Noting that Hutchinson’s lawyer was previously “someone who had been in the White House counsel’s office” and “still aligned with Trump world,” the CNN contributor stated that Hutchinson reached out to her after first speaking with the committee behind closed doors.
