'I have much higher standards in men': Cassidy Hutchinson says she never dated Matt Gaetz

In what MSNBC's Rachel Maddow called the "creepy" section of Cassidy Hutchinson's book, she read off the details about the interactions the young White House aide had with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

Hutchinson alleges that there were six incidents where someone either groped her or was "creeping" on her. Two of those incidents were Matt Gaetz. Others are cited here.

In a statement to Maddow's team, Gaetz alleges, "I don't remember either of these events and based on Cassidy's prior false statements, I doubt they occurred. I did date Cassidy for a few weeks when we were both single years ago. We parted amicably and remained friends thereafter, even during President Trump's post-presidency when she asked me to help her secure housing in South Florida because she was eager to continue working for President Trump."

"I'd love to respond to that right now," said Hutchinson. "Thank you for giving me the option. I will give Matt credit in part of his statement that we did have an amicable working relationship and we were good friends at points."

But when it comes to him personally, she said he isn't someone she holds in high regard in terms of trust."

She also alleges that he doesn't exactly "have the best track record with relationships," particularly when it comes to "how he thinks that they might be defined."

"I will say on behalf of myself I never dated Matt Gaetz. I have much higher standards in men," she said. "And Matt, frankly, is a very unserious politician. We see that today with the ruckus he is causing on Capitol Hill with the spending negotiations. And I'm not, I don't really have much else to say to somebody that is more concerned about a sound bite than actually passing legislation."

Gaetz has previously denied any of the sex trafficking allegations made against him and claimed that any money sent to teen escorts was for helping them in "school" with "books."
