Aide Thrusts Trump Chief of Staff Meadows Back Into Spotlight
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff, Mark Meadows, closed out his 10 months of White House service asking for a pardon, according to new testimony that portrayed a man reluctant to intervene to stop his boss from stirring up a mob on Jan. 6, 2021, and unwilling to engage with those who tried to do so.
The testimony came from an aide to Mr. Meadows named Cassidy Hutchinson, a 26-year-old who wasn’t mentioned in his book, “The Chief’s Chief,” but who former White House and Capitol Hill aides said played a key role in his office. In her retelling of the final days before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of President Biden’s win, Mr. Meadows spent much of his time impassively scrolling through his phone while Trump administration officials warned him of the increasing potential for violence.
“I remember feeling scared, and nervous for what could happen,” Ms. Hutchinson testified before the House select committee on Tuesday, after describing the first conversation she had with Mr. Meadows after learning that Mr. Trump was planning to go to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Mr. Meadows, whom the Justice Department declined to prosecute after the House voted to hold him in contempt for defying a subpoena to testify before the committee, didn’t respond to a request for comment left with the Conservative Partnership Institute, where he serves as a senior partner.
