Cassidy Jacqueline Hutchinson[1] (born 1996)[2][3] is a former White House aide who served as assistant to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows during the first Trump administration.

Hutchinson's testimony received significant national attention, with several media outlets calling it "compelling" and "explosive",[9][10] despite criticism from Trump allies.

[5] Identified as a "White House legislative aide", Hutchinson was the subject of a nationally syndicated AP photograph in which she was shown dancing to the Village People song "Y.M.C.A."

alongside White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany at the end of Trump's September 21, 2020, campaign rally in Swanton, Ohio.

[31][16] Hutchinson testified that she overheard mention of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during the planning of the Save America March, when Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was present.

[32][33] Several leaders of both groups were later indicted on seditious conspiracy charges for their alleged roles in the January 6 United States Capitol attack.

[34] She previously told the committee in depositions that congressmen Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, and Louie Gohmert had also requested pardons.

"[36] Hutchinson also testified that Trump threw his lunch plate against a wall in a White House dining room on December 1, 2020, when he learned that Attorney General William Barr had made a public statement that he had not discovered any evidence of election fraud.

[37] Hutchinson testified that Trump and Meadows were told some people were carrying weapons, including firearms, and therefore could not clear magnetometers to enter the rally.

[40] Politico reported the same day that Engel told the committee during an early 2022 deposition that he had kept his full account of the incident from his Secret Service colleagues for at least 14 months.

[41] On July 14, 2022, CNN published an account about the corroboration by a Metropolitan Police officer in the motorcade of the "heated exchange" Trump had with his Secret Service detail when they refused to take him to the Capitol after his rally on January 6.
