Ex-Trump Aide: Mark Meadows Burned Docs In WH Fireplace

You’ll recall Cassidy Hutchinson, a former staffer in Donald Trump’s West Wing, who delivered devastating testimony during the nationally televised House hearing regarding Trump’s actions during and after the violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Hutchinson, now 26, is back in the public eye now with the publication of “Enough,” a memoir about her time as a top aide to Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s last chief of staff. https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1705964472513277958 From the New York Times:

It was, by her telling, an administration awash in paranoia, with Mr. Meadows and others refusing to dispose of daily litter in “burn bags” for fear that someone from the “deep state” might intercept the contents.

Instead, she writes, Mr. Meadows burned so many documents in his fireplace in the final days of the Trump presidency that his wife complained to Ms. Hutchinson about how expensive it had become to dry-clean the “bonfire” aroma from his suits.

Gee, that doesn’t sound paranoid, does it?… Hutchinson also recounts how differently she felt attending Trump rallies – from her first in April 2017, when she felt she could relate to the whole crowd, to her last one right before the 2020 election:

“I was weaving in and out of the crowd. I remember thinking, ‘Why do I feel so disconnected from everything that’s going on?’ Just looking at everyone looking at this man onstage the way I had. But now I’m on the other side of it, thinking, ‘They’re being fooled by him.’”
