Trump 'extremely frightened' about truth coming out: Fmr. White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson

Joining me now is Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump White House

aide

. First of all, I want to say that she is incredibly brave when you speak and I appreciate you being here tonight. It is very important that people hear your voice in all of this. Thank you. for inviting me back, let me start, always let me start with this, it's been a while, of course, since we sat down together and at that time, as I just mentioned Trump, several of his allies attacked you personally, I mean, like I just said. Trump Trump posted if she will be prosecuted for what he did and said what his response is to that.

You know, Jen, I've been part of the Trump administration for several years and I know when it starts. I know when he starts to get nervous. I know. that Donald Trump has to be nervous, if not

extremely

scared, right now because what is happening is that he is deploying his most loyal allies on Capitol Hill to try to discredit not only my testimony but the entire January 6 investigation into As a whole, the facts are out there. and he doesn't want the facts to come out because he doesn't want the American people to know what really happened.

He hopes his false narrative of what happened on January 6 is what the American people will believe before they vote no to the November election. and it is really imperative that we continue to speak the

truth

because the facts are the facts and Donald Trump has tried to smear them with his deceptions and his lies. Now what I will say to that is also when you mentioned the report, a lot of my testimony. It was corroborated but they are ALS is also a key piece and that is the fact that he knew that there were weapons in the crowd, his Secret Service agents testified that he was aware that that was why they did not go through the magnetometers, that is a piece clue. of evidence for the American people to know and for the jury that will hopefully meet before the election because it speaks to his state of mind and it is also reported that just an hour after returning from the ellipse he called Kevin McCarthy and said that It was old to attack the capital, but he also said that they were his people, so you know all this said.

Jen Donald Trump lashes out when he feels threatened and she's lashing out right now because he doesn't want the American people to know that. he was responsible for the most egregious attack on our democracy. No doubt. I think it's very interesting. You put it off because he feels threatened. I think it's correct. Also although there are many people like you who have been speaking. Who could be the Witness? Do you feel like he's trying to put pressure on you publicly? You know, it's hard to get into a psyche and it's not something I would really love to do as I anticipate it will be a pretty dark place to be. but what I will say to that, you know, my case aside, you know there are times when I get really discouraged and I wouldn't do it, and I want to be honest about it, it's hard, especially when there are some of my ex friends and Colleagues I know know better and members of Congress I worked with very closely amplifying his lies, but I think when we look at the bigger picture, not only is he threatening this with me, he's threatening it with Liz Cheney Adam Kininger, the people who served on the January 6 committee is threatening other potential Witnesses in other cases, which federal indictments have been filed.

Potential judges. There is a large swath of Americans who may need security over the next year because you have committed to unleashing political violence against these people. It's not what a leader does and we hope he becomes the Republican candidate again. He is there to support the American people, not silence them. He wants a leader who empowers people, not leads, they don't lead out of fear. I wanted to understand your opinion. Sarah Matthews, a friend of yours, was on this show and said something that really stuck with me and I think is applicable. I wanted to touch on that and talk to you a little bit about that, obviously we look around and it's mainly women. and especially the young women who are speaking, so I would just encourage maybe men who are twice my age and who held much higher positions of power than me, who also know that Donald Trump is unfit to serve, to Let them talk and I know it. that we have some time before Election Day, but I hope that as we get closer and they see the threat that is Donald Trump and the very real possibility that he could be president again, that they will come forward, I think it's very important to say. here, they both spoke when they were 20 years old.

Young women who believed Republicans supported the Republican Party supported Trump. They talked because it wasn't right when they were 20 years old. There are many people, including older men, and she said it, but. I'm going to say it again, who hasn't done it? Do you wish they would? Of course, I wish anyone who was in the administration would do it, maybe not even until January 6, but people who know Donald Trump's character when we evaluate the politicians we elect into office. Politics are important, but especially in this period of American history, character takes precedence over political positions. When we look at this election, you know there have been more people who have spoken, but what I don't agree with is when they speak once or twice and hope that's enough and they stay silent, after exactly Trump has an effective mechanism in the one where they hold up a megaphone to the American people and use it to spread conspiracy theories and lies and that's how they manipulate and seduce people into believing what Donald Trump says we need people who were on the inside to do the exact same thing but say the

truth

about the power of the lies that Donald Trump has made, otherwise we could be falling towards a dictatorship.
