Take the f***ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded to the allegations by writing on social media: \u201cI hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and \u2018leaker\u2019), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible?\u201d Trump continued. \u201cI understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn\u2019t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s claim that Hutchinson wanted to work for him after he left the White House is somewhat corroborated by a January 14, 2021, tweet from Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacobs, who wrote: \u201cAides had assumed Trump would fly to Mar-a-Lago when he leaves White House but now it\u2019s definite: he\u2019s heading to Florida, and several aides will continue to work for him, including Nick Luna, Molly Michael, Cassidy Hutchinson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS: Aides had assumed Trump would fly to Mar-a-Lago when he leaves White House but now it\u2019s definite: he\u2019s heading to Florida, and several aides will continue to work for him, including Nick Luna, Molly Michael, Cassidy Hutchinson, sources tell me and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SalehaMohsin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SalehaMohsin<\/a>.
