Former Republican President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani attempted to dismiss the testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump's White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who told the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 insurrection that Giuliani had sought a pardon from Trump.

Writing on Twitter, Giuliani called the committee a "Witch Hunt Cabal" that "has now exceeded even its prior fraudulent" [sic]. He went on to describe Hutchinson as a "reckless liar" who gave "false testimony."


But then he accidentally incriminated himself when he claimed Hutchinson "was never present when I asked for a pardon," adding he told Trump "I did not want or need one."

Giuliani later deleted that tweet, adjusted his account settings so only people he follows or mentions can reply, and this morning followed up with another tweet insisting that he "NEVER lied nor did anything wrong" and that the subject of pardons only arose "because the lying radical left try to frame innocent people."

But others had already seen Giuliani's previous tweet and he was criticized for his behavior.




The House Select Committee is aware that Giuliani was involved in talks about pardons because John Eastman, an attorney who actively worked with the Trump administration to overturn the results of the 2020 general election, emailed Giuliani and asked to be included on the pardon list.

Hutchinson's testimony has received pushback from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, who said she gave "all hearsay evidence."

Hutchinson testified Trump said he "didn't care" a mob of his supporters—who would later attack the United States Capitol on the false premise the 2020 general election had been stolen— attended the "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6, 2021 armed with weapons.

Hutchinson also told the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the attack a Secret Service agent told her Trump had gotten into a physical altercation when he attempted to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limousine.

By Hutchinson's recollection, the Secret Service agent said Trump had wanted to go to the United States Capitol and see his White nationalist and White supremacist lead supporters.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
