Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson claimed that Rudy Giuliani, onetime attorney for former President Donald Trump, groped her on the day of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in shocking allegations about the man once called “America’s mayor.”
Hutchinson reported to Mark Meadows, Trump’s final chief of staff, and was a key witness in the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation into the fateful day at the Capitol. In her book being released on Tuesday, Enough, she described that day, detailing how Giuliani was “like a wolf closing in on its prey.”

The former White House aide said she met Giuliani backstage at Donald Trump’s speech near the White House before his supporters marched on the Capitol. It was here that the former New York City mayor, according to Hutchinson, put his hand “under my blazer, then my skirt.”
“I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh,” she wrote, according to the Guardian, which obtained a copy of her book. “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,” she added. “…filled with rage, I storm through the tent, on yet another quest for Mark,” referring to Meadows.
Giuliani political adviser Ted Goodman called Hutchinson’s claims a “disgusting lie” in a statement obtained by CNN.
“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,” Goodman said. “This is a disgusting lie against Mayor Rudy Giuliani…”
In her testimony during the summer of 2022, Hutchinson claimed that Trump privately acknowledged his 2020 election loss, and she said Trump’s allies took advantage of her financial status to sway her testimony to the Jan. 6 committee.
The promotion for her book, Enough, begins, “Cassidy Hutchinson’s desk was mere steps from the most controversial president in recent American history. Now, she provides a riveting account of her extraordinary experiences as an idealistic young woman thrust into the middle of a national crisis, where she risked everything to tell the truth about some of the most powerful people in Washington.”
Cassidy’s allegations against Giuliani are only the most recent troubles the Trump ally faces. Just this week, a law firm that previously represented him sued him for nearly $1.4 million, claiming the former New York City mayor owed an outstanding balance.

Giuliani has requested help from Trump to pay his outstanding legal fees, brought on by various cases against him. The former mayor was named in a large $10 million lawsuit filed by Noelle Dunphy, who accused Giuliani of harassing her.
He is also one of 18 co-defendants with Trump in the Georgia election interference case, and he was fined $132,000 in legal fees for failing to provide sufficient paperwork to show his financial situation in a separate Georgia case.
