Who is Cassidy Hutchinson? Ex-Trump aide releases all the sleazy details of Rudy Giuliani 'attack'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a shocking new memoir, Cassidy Hutchinson, former Donald Trump aide, has accused Rudy Giuliani of groping her.
The 27-year-old, who played a prominent role as a star witness at the January 6 Committee hearings, alleges that the 79-year-old Giuliani put his hand "under my blazer, then my skirt," and behaved like a "wolf closing in on his prey."
The former New York Mayor "fingered the fabric" and commented, "I’m loving this leather jacket on you" according to her account in the explosive book, obtained by The Guardian.
Ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson's memoir 'Enough'
Cassidy Hutchinson's memoir, titled 'Enough', details the 27-year-old's transformation from a Trump supporter to a state of disenchantment, and details her journey to becoming a key witness for the congressional panel investigating the events surrounding the Capitol riot.
The book is set to be published in the US next Tuesday, September 26.

In her memoir, Hutchinson recounts her encounter with Giuliani backstage at then-President Trump's speech at the Ellipse, located down the National Mall, not far from the US Capitol.
This encounter occurred shortly before the attack on the democratic handover of power began.
"I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh," she wrote. "He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to [Trump adviser] John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin."
"I fight against the tension in my muscles and recoil from Rudy’s grip … filled with rage, I storm through the tent, on yet another quest for Mark," she added.
Mark Meadows, who served as Trump's final chief of staff, was Hutchinson's White House boss.
An attorney for John Eastman said in a statement to The Independent that "Dr Eastman categorically denies the allegation that he witnessed the conduct Ms Hutchinson apparently attributes to Mayor Giuliani in her forthcoming book, or that he ‘flash[ed] a leering smile’ at Ms Hutchinson at that time or at any time."
"He does not recall ever having met Ms Hutchinson, and did not even know who she was until her public testimony before the Select Committee in the House of Representatives in June 2022," the attorney added.
"Dr Eastman is considering defamation litigation against those responsible for making or publishing these libelous allegations."
Ted Goodman, a political adviser to Giuliani, said, "It’s fair to ask Cassidy Hutchinson why she is just now coming out with these allegations from two and a half years ago, as part of the marketing campaign for her upcoming book release."
"This is a disgusting lie against Mayor Rudy Giuliani—a man whose distinguished career in public service includes taking down the Mafia, cleaning up New York City and comforting the nation following September 11th."
Rudy Giuliani pleaded not guilty to 13 charges linked to Trump's Georgia election scandal
Rudy Giuliani, the former US Attorney, has pleaded not guilty to 13 charges related to racketeering and conspiracy in Georgia, which are connected to the Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
Additionally, Giuliani has been found liable for defamation in a case involving two election workers in Georgia. The Washington, DC bar association has advocated for his disbarment.
Facing a mounting pile of legal fees, Giuliani has put his Manhattan apartment up for sale. The 79-year-old is also facing a lawsuit for $1.3 million filed by his own lawyer for unpaid fees and another lawsuit for $10 million filed by a former personal assistant.
In the latter lawsuit, Giuliani is accused of sexual assault, harassment, abuse of power, and wage theft.
