According to The Guardian and reported by Rolling Stone, Cassidy Hutchinson’s new book reveals Rudy Giuliani ran his hand under her blazer and touched her thighs while they were backstage on January 6.
Rolling Stone quotes from the book:
“I find Rudy in the back of the tent with, among others, John Eastman,” she writes. “The corners of his mouth split into a Cheshire cat smile. Waving a stack of documents, he moves towards me, like a wolf closing in on its prey.”
“‘We have the evidence. It’s all here. We’re going to pull this off.’” Hutchinson recalls Giuliani saying before wrapping an arm around her and playing with the fabric at the hem of her blazer. “‘By the way,’ he says, fingering the fabric, ‘I’m loving this leather jacket on you,’” she wrote. “His hand slips under my blazer, then my skirt […] I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh […] The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”
She broke away from the disgraced New York mayor and went to find Mark Meadows, she says.
A spokesman for Giuliani issued a statement after The Guardian story was released, “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. … This is a disgusting lie against Mayor Rudy Giuliani – a man whose distinguished career in public service includes taking down the Mafia, cleaning up New York City and comforting the nation following September 11.”
The Rolling Stone story also said the spokesman indicated that “Mayor Rudy Giuliani will pursue all appropriate legal action against this disgusting lie.”
