Cassidy Hutchinson
Hutchinson was an intern at the White House under then-President Donald Trump and was a college senior in 2018 when she was interviewed by her student newspaper in an article titled “A Captain in the ‘People’s House.’ “The White House Internship Program is a hands-on opportunity designed to mentor and cultivate young leaders and prepare them for future public service,” the article said. “It is a highly coveted summer gig, with a rigorous screening process.”

Hutchinson’s LinkedIn page says she studied political science and American studies at Christopher Newport University, a public university in Newport News, Virginia. Her page says she is based in the Washington and Baltimore area.
One sign of Hutchinson’s possible willingness to cooperate with investigations is her choice of lawyers. She recently switched from a former Trump White House official to a veteran former Justice Department official who served as chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and who emerged as a key witness for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. Jody Hunt, the new lawyer, recounted for Mueller’s team the extent to which Trump berated Sessions over his recusal from the Russia investigation and the pressure he sought to exert on the department over the probe.
Hutchinson told her student newspaper in 2018 that she was the first person in her family to attend college. She described herself as “a first-generation college student” in her interview. The Associated Press described the role of young people in the White House in its article on Hutchinson’s testimony, and about the access to information aides can obtain.
“There’s relatively little known about Hutchinson. Although the White House is perhaps the world’s most prestigious office building, much of the staff is young, sometimes even fresh out of college like Hutchinson. They often previously worked on the president’s campaign or the national party, and they’re distinguished by their ambition and willingness to work long hours for little pay,” the AP reported. “They’re also critical to any administration’s machinery. They help with the logistics of media coverage, prepare for public events and answer the phones. Because they’re often within earshot as the country’s most powerful people gossip and plan, discretion is expected.”

Hutchinson was recognized in her student newspaper for her political internships. Prior to serving as an aide to Meadows, she also served as an intern for House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Senator Ted Cruz, according to a 2018 article in the Christopher Newport University newspaper.
