Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, through her attorney, responded Friday to one of the House Republicans’ key impeachment witnesses, Tony Bobulinski, saying in a letter obtained for the first time by ABC News that the comments he made in his recent interview with the House Oversight Committee were “defamatory,” with his lawyer providing a photo of an alleged meeting between Bobulinski and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, which he said refuted Bobulinski’s claims. Bobulinski on the incident.
In the letter to the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Republican Chairman James Comer, Hutchinson, through his attorney William H. Jordan, pushed back on the claims of Bobulinski, a former business associate of Joe Biden. son Hunter Biden who has since become a critic of the Biden family.
Bobulinski, one of the main witnesses of the republican regime indictment investigation on President Joe Biden, told the House panel last week that Hutchinson was a “liar and a fraud,” while denying an anecdote written by Hutchinson in his book “Enough,” in which Hutchinson recalled that Bobulinski wore a “ski mask” during a secret meeting. with Mark Meadows, then Trump’s chief of staff, at a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia.
“In the shadows of the stands, I observed Mark and Tony Bobulinski’s interaction through a gap in the vehicles. As they said goodbye, I saw Mark hand Tony what appeared to be a folded sheet of paper or a small envelope,” Hutchinson wrote. in the book.
“Cassidy Hutchinson is an absolute liar and a fraud,” Bobulinski told the panel, saying he wasn’t wearing a ski mask and “(Meadows) didn’t give me anything.”
In the letter responding to Bobulinski, Hutchinson’s lawyer wrote that although his client “has no desire to become involved in the impeachment investigation,” she “now finds herself the subject of defamatory comments held by Mr. Bobulinski in his testimony before this committee.
In the letter, Hutchinson’s attorney provided a photo he said he took at the time of the alleged meeting between Meadows and Bobulinski at the Trump rally.

“Mr. Bobulinski asserts under oath that he was not wearing a mask, that Mr. Meadows did not hand him anything, and that Ms. Hutchinson was ‘making up facts,'” Hutchinson’s attorney wrote in the letter. “Perhaps Mr. Bobulinski’s memory is impaired about the meeting, and a photo would help jog his memory.”
The photo appears to show the couple meeting at night between SUVs with Bobukinski wearing a black hat and mask.
During his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Bobukinski said he remembered meeting Meadows at the Georgia rally and having private security with him at the time.
“Are you wearing a ski mask?” Bobukinski was questioned and responded, “I wasn’t wearing a ski mask.”
“Ms. Hutchinson took a photo of Mr. Bobulinski meeting Mr. Meadows from her vantage point directly across the vehicle from their conversation,” Jordan wrote in his letter. “A copy is attached to this letter. Mr. Bobulinski may be a little difficult to make out in this image – since he is wearing his Penn State hat…and a mask.”
“Ms. Hutchinson stands by what she witnessed that night and what she wrote in her book,” he added.
Bobulinski’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, responded: “We will ensure that Ms. Hutchinson has her day in court soon to tell her story in front of a jury and the truth will prevail.”
Meadows did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News.
Friday’s letter comes a few days after Raskin sent a letter to Bobulinski’s lawyer calling his testimony “chaotic” and saying it “offered no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of President Biden.”
Bobulinski’s lawyer, Stefan Passantino, responded in his own letter to the top Democrat, writing: “I am shocked and disgusted that you or anyone else would question his motives, patriotism or sincerity when you dishonestly assert that Mr. Bobulinski presented no evidence. of wrongdoing by President Biden’ or ‘provide any evidence that President Biden was involved in his family’s business dealings.'”
Following Bobulinski’s testimony, Comer said Bobulinski had “expressed under oath that Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ that the Bidens were selling to enrich the family.”
