Matt Gaetz and four other Capitol Hill Republicans groped or 'creeped' on Cassidy Hutchinson: new book
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has a copy of Cassidy Hutchinson's new book and she listed off some of the bombshell things mentioned inside.
Ahead of her interview with Hutchinson, Maddow said she "ended up taking 20 tiny scribbled handwritten pages of notes all about what was new here to me."
Among the new things, Maddow listed:
"Bizarre, apparent mishandling of classified information including some at least previously classified information, potentially still classified information being carried around in a Whole Foods bag and dropped off with some reporters."
"There is a strange new story about what the White House chief of staff did in the last 15 minutes that the Trump administration existed on inauguration day. Something that required him to move with lights and sirens through downtown D.C., to get there before noon whereupon Joe Biden would become president."
"There is new information that as early as May, 2020, the White House, Trump White House, May, 2020, was already trying out the phrase 'stop the steal' in messaging about the 2020 election, six months before the election even happened."
"There is new confirmation from Cassidy Hutchinson that Trump was mortally ill from COVID. That he was so ill his life was in danger when he was hospitalized with the virus."
"There is confirmation from Cassidy Hutchinson, that it was the former president himself who ordered the firing of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman. Telling me tonight before hearing that from us, when we called him for comment he had been aware his firing had been ordered by the president himself."
"There are six different allegations about various White House men and Capitol Hill Republican men groping or 'creeping' on Cassidy Hutchinson in this book," Maddow listed. "Although I should mention that two of the six are both Matt Gaetz so six alleged incidents but only five different men. We'll have more on that later. There is a lot to talk about here."
One of those was Rudy Giuliani, a previous report revealed.
Another was Mike McKenna, who would "single out other women" and make crude comments.
Another was former Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who told Hutchinson to "lose the ponytail" and only drink red wine from then on.
She also said Trump told her to add blond highlights to her hair, and she went home and did it.
"He chuckled and brushed his thumb across my chin," Hutchinson said of Gaetz. "Has anyone ever told you you're a national treasure?"
She goes on to describe a night at Camp David when Gaetz rolled up at Hutchinson's cabin and was seen by Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) who opened the door to a neighboring cabin. McCarthy asked him what he wanted, and he said he was lost and asked if Hutchinson could "escort me to my cabin."
"Get a life, Matt," McCarthy told Gaetz.
In a statement, Gaetz said that he and Hutchinson dated for a few months.
Hutchinson told Maddow that he doesn't have a great track record with relationships and she never dated him.
