Cassidy Hutchinson was born in 1996 and raised in Pennington, New Jersey. In 2019, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and American Studies from Christopher Newport University in Virginia. During her time at university, Hutchinson completed internships for Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Steve Scalise, and the White House Office of Legislative Affairs.

Hutchinson is best known for her work as an aide for the Trump administration. Mark Meadows, President Trump’s chief of staff, hired her in 2020, and she became his principal aide at the age of 24. After some of President Trump’s supporters violently attacked the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, Hutchinson testified for the January 6 Committee. Initially advised by a Trump-funded lawyer, Hutchinson withheld information from the Committee in her first testimonies, but with new representation, she shared more of her knowledge about the Trump administration and their actions on January 6. In her testimony, she claimed that President Trump and Mark Meadows knew that the rally was likely to become violent, and that Trump had agreed with protestors that Mike Pence should be hanged, among many other revelations. Public reaction to Hutchinson’s testimony was predictably divided; many Trump supporters accused her of lying, while others thought she was courageous to testify for the Committee.
