Records from the General Services Administration show the low-level aid was raking in what would amount to an annual salary of $90,000.<\/p>\n<p>The post-presidential employment lasting months after the Jan. 6 riot stands in stark contrast to the narrative Hutchinson presented to lawmakers in June. Speaking before the select committee, Hutchinson said she was \u201cdisgusted\u201d by White House actions and left with resentment against her prior employer over his attempts to delay certification of the Electoral College.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie, and it was something that was really hard in that moment to digest,\u201d Hutchinson said. <\/p>\n<p>In the same testimony, the former aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Trump himself sought to violently hijack the presidential limousine to drive himself to the Capitol. Hutchinson also said former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone personally warned her not to allow Trump to go to the Capitol or, \u201cWe\u2019re going to get charged with every crime imaginable.\u201d Both claims were <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/01\/exclusive-jim-banks-demands-white-house-surveillance-logs-to-vet-contested-j6-testimony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contradicted<\/a> in the days following her performance. Hours after her appearance, the Secret Service agents who allegedly saw the events in question said they were prepared to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/29\/new-j6-narrative-about-trump-and-secret-service-collapses-hours-after-tuesday-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denounce<\/a> Hutchinson\u2019s claims under oath.<\/p>\n<p>In the weeks after the Jan. 6 riot, Hutchinson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-01-15\/trump-plans-to-live-at-mar-a-lago-and-employ-some-current-aides?srnd=premium#xj4y7vzkg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> sought a job with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida where a handful of other aides and advisers joined the former president after his administration. Trump, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/donald-trump-cassidy-hutchinson-testimony-truth-social-reaction-1720060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> he \u201chardly\u201d knew her and declined to bring her with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI personally turned her request down,\u201d the former president wrote on Truth Social. \u201cWhy did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Insider, Hutchinson worked for Trump from Northern Virginia until April of 2021. Last week, a series of private communications <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/26\/exclusive-in-private-cassidy-hutchinson-joked-about-riot-called-j6-committee-phony-praised-trump-before-changing-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published<\/a> by The Federalist further revealed the extent to which Hutchinson flipped on her support for the president to collude with the select committee. Hutchinson commiserated with other targets of the probe about how little information she had to offer of any wrongdoing by Trump on Jan. 6, repeatedly disparaged the committee in private, joked about the riot she now says leaves her with emotional scars, and expressed adoration for the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would rather shoot myself dead into the Potomac than see marine one flying around this city without 45 again,\u201d Hutchinson wrote in one message nearly three months after the riot.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the month before she would become the Jan. 6 Committee\u2019s blockbuster witness, Hutchinson outlined a conversation she had with a stranger in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA real conversation that just took place,\u201d she began:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Person on sidewalk: your sweatshirt says 45.<\/p>\n<p>Me: yes<\/p>\n<p>Person: like, Trump?<\/p>\n<p>Me: yes<\/p>\n<p>Person: stares<\/p>\n<p>Me: I\u2019m an insurrectionist.<\/p>\n<p>And then I put my headphones in.
