Bret Baier: 'Compelling' Jan 6. testimony from Meadows aide 'moves the ball'
'Special Report' anchor reacts to new Jan. 6 testimony from former Trump White House aid Cassidy Hutchinson.
Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier reacted to "stunning" testimony from former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson Tuesday on the former president's actions on January 6 on "America Reports." Baier also responded to Trump's denial of Hutchinson's account of the day.
TRUMP 'LUNGED' AT SECRET SERVICE AGENT WHO SAID HE COULDN'T GO TO CAPITOL ON JAN. 6. FMR. AIDE SAYS
BRET BAIER: This testimony, first of all, is stunning, because we have not heard this. Two, it’s compelling because of her proximity to power. All of these people directly having conversations with her. I think as we have seen before, it’s methodical. We always point out the caveat, there is not a minority here that’s pushing back or questioning the other way, but it leads up to January 6th.
…
This testimony was very compelling from beginning to end. She obviously had access to all of the players. We are now hearing from the former president on various posts where he questions her accuracy. He goes after her directly, says he doesn't know who she is, and said he didn't lunge at the Secret Service agent in the Beast, that didn't happen. He says he didn't throw his lunch against the wall, that didn't happen and that she's lying. Cassidy Hutchinson is under oath on Capitol Hill. The president is on Truth Social making his statements.
