Cassidy Hutchinson Sued For Defamation By Whistleblower

Well, folks. Looks like Bobulinski is taking on ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

He’s claiming she implied he was up to some shady business back before 2020 election with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Bobulinski’s legal team filed this defamation lawsuit on Monday at the Georgia federal court.

He’s alleging that she chose to “viciously defame” him in her recent book about her time as Meadows’ assistant.

Looks like the political drama continues.

MSN reports:

Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski is suing ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson for implying he was involved in a “shady business dealing” with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows before the 2020 election, The Post has exclusively learned.

Attorneys for Bobulinski filed a defamation lawsuit in Georgia federal court Monday, alleging Hutchinson “chose to viciously defame” the “decorated Navy veteran” in her 2023 tell-all book about her time as Meadows’ assistant.

The suit accuses Hutchinson of lying about a meeting between Bobulinski and Meadows at a Trump campaign rally in Rome, Ga., on Nov. 1, 2020, “dishonestly portraying it to be unethical and, possibly, illegal.”

It asks for a retraction and an award of $10 million in damages for harming Bobulinski’s reputation and making him fear for his personal safety.

Hutchinson, a star witness for the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, made headlines in June 2022 when she claimed President Donald Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of his SUV and drive up to join his supporters at the Capitol.

That purported incident, which Hutchinson said was relayed to her by a White House official, was disputed by the official, a Secret Service agent in the SUV at the time, and the driver.

Bobulinski’s attorneys, in a letter to Hutchinson’s counsel, say their client has every right to expect compensation from Ms. Hutchinson for the damages but will forgo the money if she donates 20% of her book advance to a children’s hospital.

“In the shadows of the bleachers, I observed Mark and Tony Bobulinski’s interaction through a gap in the vehicles,” Hutchinson wrote in her book “Enough,” claiming the latter was wearing a “ski mask” to hide his identity.

“When they said their goodbyes, I saw Mark hand Tony what appeared to be a folded sheet of paper or a small envelope. Mark walked toward me, staring at the ground,” she says of the interaction, book excerpts included in the suit show.

Bobulinski had been a guest of Trump weeks earlier at his second and final debate against Joe Biden, after Bobulinski claimed the Democratic nominee had lied about involvement in his son Hunter’s overseas business.

On Feb. 13, Bobulinski testified before the House Oversight Committee that Hutchinson’s retelling of the meeting was false. Meadows did not hand him anything, he said, and he was not wearing a ski mask.

“Mr. Bobulinski met with Mr. Meadows because Mr. Bobulinski was experiencing death threats and Mr. Meadows wanted to check on his well-being,” the Navy veteran’s attorneys wrote in their suit. “The meeting was utterly innocuous.”

Hutchinson’s attorneys previously shared a picture that their client snapped of the two huddling behind a car at the rally, with Bobulinski wearing what his attorneys now say was a neck gaiter due to COVID-19 pandemic precautions.
