Mark Meadows has already released a statement saying that his former aide, Cassidy Hutchinson purposefully left out context in her stories about him to sell books.
Hutchinson, speaking to Rachel Maddow on Monday said that if that is what Meadows truly believes, "I would encourage him to testify under oath if he really believes that what's in the book and what I have testified to under oath, which is what I have testified to, he can go testify under oath if he has strong feelings about that."
In another incident between Hutchinson and her former boss, she describes dropping off a Whole Foods bag full of classified documents. It's something that Hutchinson said was part of the cavalier attitude the White House had when it came to classified information.
"I dropped the bag on Pat Cipollone's floor," Hutchinson writes in the book. "'Here are your classified documents back from the reporters, Mark.' I didn't hide my contempt. My words rife with sarcasm. Mark and Mr. Cipollone peered into the bag. I saw Mark swallow hard. Pat shot me a piercing look. Overwhelmed, Pat agonized, 'Seriously? Seriously? We do not have time for this.' I was already walking out of his office."
Maddow also cited another incident involving "Crossfire Hurricane," the Russia investigation into the 2016 election.
"You then describe Mr. Meadows at 11:45 a.m. on Inauguration Day asking the Secret Service how quickly they can get him to the Justice Department because he wants to try to declassify something literally in the last 15 minutes when Donald Trump is president," read Maddow.
"That specific binder was pertinent to 'Crossfire Hurricane,' which for the record at the time I had no idea what Crossfire Hurricane was," Hutchinson confessed. "But I — looking at the bigger picture here bringing it back to next year's election, these people very well could be in power again and do we want people who have already shown that they're willing and want to overthrow an election of a duly elected president, which is the pinnacle our democracy? Do we want to put people like that back in power? Do we want to put people back in power who have mishandled and shown to mishandle the most sensitive national security secrets our nation has? You know, that is the question we need to ask ourselves."
These are all details that Hutchinson made clear she's told the grand jury involving the classified documents scandal.
