Trump White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson on the price of speaking out
CBSN
For past two years, Cassidy Hutchinson has basically been off the radar since that day last summer when she found herself in the eye of a political hurricane. "I go out in limited capacities," she said. "You know, part of it is for security."
In June 2022 Hutchinson, then 26 and a former senior advisor to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified before the January 6th Committee, and she didn't hold back.
"As an American, I was disgusted."
Three days after 24-year-old Alyssa Burkett was shot and then stabbed to death outside her office in Carrollton, Texas, Andrew Beard – with whom Burkett shared a 1-year-old daughter – was charged with her murder. The following day, Beard's fiancée Holly Elkins voluntarily sat down with two detectives at the Carrollton Police Department.
