WASHINGTON - On Tuesday, Cassidy Hutchinson released her brand new book, Enough, encapsulating the pressures she confronted to toe the party line and the demands of American democracy during the Trump Administration.
Her desk was steps away from the most controversial president in recent American history. As a young woman in Washington politics, she struggled to face a crisis with grace, especially when she was faced with a choice between loyalty to the Trump administration or loyalty to the country.
Hutchinson served as a top aide to former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows. During her time she became successful, but turned into an instant public figure last summer when she testified against Trump in a televised hearing before the House committee investigating the nation-shocking Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
In Enough, Hutchinson compares the White House on Jan. 6th to the Titanic. She mentioned, “The ship is the White House. And we’re in steerage.” The book starkly echoed her shocking testimony that transfixed the nation.
After her testimony, Hutchinson needed to go silent for safety reasons where she was held in a Washington, D.C. hotel for many days before relocating temporarily to Atlanta to wait out the raging waters of backlash.
Her book, 365 pages long of the ups and downs of her life, several unheard claims of the behind the scenes experience working in Trump’s White House, and a reflection of her once-soaring career. At 26 years old, Hutchinson has insightful stories to share from her time before, during and after working for the Trump administration. She expands on these experiences while offering a brief on all of the major players in the modern Republican Party.
Some of the more buzzing claims in her book include an alleged incident of groping by ex-Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani on the morning of the U.S. Capitol Riot, the “vain” reason Trump refused to make an appearance wearing a N95 mask during the pandemic, Meadows’ apparent sense of guilt regarding Republican Herman Cain’s premature COVID death and more uncomfortable interactions with House Freedom Cause member, Matt Gaetz.
When asked about future attacks on her name and her new memoir, she declared that she stands by all of her claims.
“If somebody wants to attack the way that they come off in the book, I'm not going to hold myself responsible for what they may say about the way that they're framed," she says. "I'm holding them accountable to their own actions,” via PEOPLE.
In the book description, Hutchinson really wanted to focus on her dream to be involved in politics and how she ended up where she is now, where she finally found her voice.
“It’s the saga of a woman whose fierce determination helped her overcome childhood challenges to get her dream job, only to face a crisis of conscience—one that more senior White House aides tried to evade—and, in the process, find her voice and herself. This is a portrait of how the courage of one person can change the course of history,” via Simon & Schuster.
