Former aide paints damning portrait of Trump raging on January 6

Anderson Cooper 360

Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified in front of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol and painted a damning portrait of former President Trump. Hutchinson claimed both the former President and his chief of staff were aware there might be violence, including that supporters had weapons. CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins joins AC360 to discuss how Trump’s reacting to the testimony.

Plus, during her testimony, Hutchinson recalled a story she was told about how Trump allegedly lunged at Secret Service and the steering wheel of a vehicle when he was told he couldn’t go to the Capitol. Mary Trump is the former President’s niece. She tells AC360 it’s “entirely consistent” with everything she has “known about him forever.”
