Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, reveals in her upcoming book “Enough” that she had a distressing encounter with Rudy Giuliani, then-Trump attorney, at an event on Jan. 6, 2021.
Hutchinson portrays Giuliani as a predatory figure, likening him to a wolf stalking its prey. She recalls their backstage meeting while President Donald Trump addressed his supporters near the White House before the Capitol riot. Excerpts from “Enough” were initially reported by The Guardian, and although NBC News hasn’t obtained a copy of the book, a reliable source verified the published quotes.
According to Hutchinson, aged 27, Giuliani, a prominent advocate of Trump’s baseless election fraud allegations, approached her with a stack of documents before behaving inappropriately. She claims that he touched her under her blazer and skirt in a disturbing manner. The Guardian reports her describing the incident as follows: “His frozen fingers trail up my thigh…I lower my eyes and watch his free hand reach for the hem of my blazer.”
In response to Hutchinson’s allegations, Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani, dismisses them as “a disgusting lie.” He also questions why Hutchinson chose to come forward only now, almost three years after the incident and as part of her book marketing campaign.
Simon and Schuster, the publisher of “Enough,” supports Hutchinson and stands by her book. When NBC News attempted to contact Hutchinson directly, they were unsuccessful.
Hutchinson played a significant role as a witness during the House Jan. 6 committee’s investigation into the Capitol attack. In her explosive public testimony, she detailed an angry President Trump on Jan. 6, claiming that she was informed of his attempt to grab the steering wheel of an armored SUV and his subsequent aggressive behavior towards his security detail upon learning that he wouldn’t be taken to the Capitol. However, her account faced scrutiny when sources suggested that two witnesses could testify under oath that the incident didn’t occur.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump largely disregarded and denied Hutchinson’s testimony.
Giuliani, 79, currently faces multiple legal challenges, including a lawsuit filed by Noelle Dunphy, who alleges that Giuliani harassed her and discussed selling presidential pardons after hiring her in 2019. Giuliani denies these allegations.
Additionally, a federal judge recently ruled that Giuliani defamed two election workers while amplifying Trump’s unfounded claims of election theft.
In the Georgia election interference case, where Trump and 18 others are charged, including Giuliani, all defendants have pleaded not guilty.
