Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson appeared on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” to discuss her upcoming book “Enough,” which details, among other things, what she saw working for Trump during the period that culminated in his attempt to overthrow the government on January 1. 6, 2021.
Hutchinson, of course, has revealed many shocking details about Trump and his various associates in the book, which are still emerging ahead of the book’s September 26 launch. Among them, she accused Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz of groping her twice.
In a statement to Maddow, Gaetz denied the allegations and instead claimed he was dating Hutchinson — while also accusing her of lying about what she saw on Jan. 6.
“I have no recollection of any of these events and based on Cassidy’s previous false statements, I doubt they occurred. I dated 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 wanted to continue working for President Trump” , Gaetz said.
When Maddow was asked about this, Hutchinson did not address the claim that she was “eager to continue working” for Trump even after January 6 and had asked Gaetz for help finding a home near him. But she has dismissed his claim that they were in a relationship.
“Matt Gaetz, in my opinion, is someone that I personally don’t hold in high regard when it comes to trust. And I don’t think Matt Gaetz has the best track record on relationships and condoning his relationships, however he thinks they can be defined,” Hutchinson said. “I will say on my own behalf that I never dated Matt Gaetz. I have much higher standards for men. And Matt is honestly a very non-serious politician. We see that today with the commotion he is causing on Capitol Hill with the spending negotiations. I don’t really have much else to say to someone who is more concerned about getting a healthy bite than actually passing legislation.”
