Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who famously testified before the Jan. 6 committee, recently claimed in an interview that former President Donald Trump would often throw food against the wall in the White House.
Hutchinson was a guest last week on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, sharing that the president had an act for throwing food when he received bad news.
“Sometimes it would happen once or twice a week, sometimes more. Sometimes there’d be a week or so lull, but then there would be a bad news story,” Hutchinson said. “But it wasn’t just launching the food and the plates and the porcelain at the wall. It was sometimes just flipping the tablecloth.”
Hutchinson served former chief of staff Mark Meadows from March 2020 through the end of the Trump administration.
During the Jan. 6 committee last year, Hutchinson testified that Trump threw his lunch across the room after finding out that then-Attorney General William Barr gave an interview in which he said there was no widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
“There was ketchup dripping down the wall and a shattered porcelain plate on the floor,” Hutchinson testified.
In response to the comments from Hutchinson last year, Trump took to Truth Social saying he actually wanted to throw it at his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, The New Yorker reported.
“Lyin’ Cassidy said that I threw my lunch at the wall,” Trump wrote at the time. “I actually threw it at Rudy Giuliani, and he ducked. It was a perfect throw.”
Hutchinson went on to tell Kimmel that Trump had a fear of being poisoned while in office and that it often affected his eating habits, as the former president would often ask for small glass bottles of Heinz ketchup “because he likes to hear his valet or whoever is serving him a meal, he likes to hear the pop when he opens it.”
