Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to the former White House chief of staff during the administration of President Donald Trump testified on June 28 that the former president became “extremely angry” after then-Attorney General Bill Barr gave a news interview in Dec. of 2020 saying fraud had not changed the outcome of the 2020 election.

Hutchinson's testimony came during the sixth public hearing on June 28 by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. She testified that she had been working in the White House when she heard noise down the hallway. She looked out and a valet approached her, saying that Trump wanted to speak to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows.

After Mark visited Trump, Hutchinson went to the dining room and saw a valet changing the tablecloth.

“He motioned for me to come in and then pointed towards the front of the room near the fireplace, mantle and the TV where I first noticed there was ketchup dripping down the wall, and there's a
shattered porcelain plate on the floor,” Hutchinson said.

“The valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general's AP [Associated Press] interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall.”

Hutchinson said that the valet warned her that Trump was “really ticked off" and she should stay clear of him.

This was not the first time Trump had thrown dinnerware, according to Hutchinson. She said she was aware of several times this had happened while she was at the White House.

The hearing was unexpectedly announced a week after the Jan. 6 committee said they were taking a break until the month of July. In the year since its creation, the committee has conducted more than 1,000 interviews, seeking critical information and documents from people witness to, or involved in, the violence that day.
