Outgoing Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vowed not to support Trump in the next presidential election.
Asa Hutchinson’s comments came three days after Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide in the Trump White House, testified before the Jan. 6 committee and made several bombshell claims — including that Trump knew several of his supporters were armed at the “Stop The Steal” rally that preceded the Capitol riot and that he made a “lunge” at a Secret Service agent after he was unable to travel to the Capitol building that same day.
Her testimony has since been called into question by sources close to the Secret Service, who claim the lunge never happened. Asa Hutchinson, who is not believed to be related to Cassidy Hutchinson, praised her testimony as “very compelling” Friday. Protesters attacked a police officer at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.“I think she clearly demonstrated her concern and love for our country,” the governor said. “She came across with a great deal of credibility, but what’s the challenge with the committee is they’re not having cross-examination.
