CASSIDY HUTCHINSON, ) COMPLAINT
)
) Demand for a Jury Trial
)
Defendant. )
)

1. Plaintiff Anthony Bobulinski (“Mr. Bobulinski”) is a decorated

Navy veteran who put his country above politics. Because Mr. Bobulinski did

not pledge blind loyalty to the Democrat Party and to the Biden family, but

rather, was a guest of President Trump’s at a Presidential debate, Defendant,

Cassidy Hutchinson chose to viciously defame him.

2. Defendant cashed in on her brief proximity to President Trump to

become the “star” witness of, and in collaboration with, the January 6th

Committee and profited from politically left-wing business ventures. In doing

so, Defendant has nefariously lied about those with whom she affiliates

President Trump.
3. In one of her business ventures, Defendant released a book in

which she defamed Mr. Bobulinski and painted him in a false light. Defendant

did so, in part, by lying about a meeting between Mr. Bobulinski and Mark

Meadows, dishonestly portraying it to be unethical and, possibly, illegal.

Consequently, Mr. Bobulinski now seeks to hold Defendant accountable for her

malicious conduct.

Parties

4. Plaintiff Anthony Bobulinski is an individual who is not a citizen

of Washington, D.C. Indeed, Mr. Bobulinski has never been resident of

Washington, D.C., he has never voted in Washington, D.C., nor has he paid

income tax in Washington, D.C.

5. Defendant Cassidy Hutchinson is an individual who is a citizen of

Washington, D.C.

Jurisdiction & Venue

6. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this cause of action

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332 as there is complete diversity of citizenship, and

the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.

7. Defendant is subject to personal jurisdiction in Georgia pursuant

to Georgia’s long-arm statute, Ga. Code Ann. § 9-10-91, because she drafted

and published the defamatory statements within the state of Georgia, and the

subject events occurred in Georgia.

2
8. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391 because

the subject events occurred in this district.

Factual Background

Background of Anthony Bobulinski

9. Mr. Bobulinski is a decorated Navy veteran and successful

businessman.

10. For over six years, Mr. Bobulinski was an officer in the United

States Navy’s elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (“NNPTC”) as a

decorated Master Training Specialist Instructor. He later served as the

Command’s Chief Technology Officer where he held a Q security clearance

from the Department of Energy and from the National Security Agency. When

he left NNPTC, Mr. Bobulinski was the top-ranked Direct Input Officer (“DIO”)

in the entire Command in his final Navy Fitness Report (“FITREP”).

11. Mr. Bobulinski’s awards and decorations include the Navy/Marine

Corps Commendation Medal, the Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and

the National Defense Service Medal.

12. After his military service, Mr. Bobulinski became involved in

business ventures and eventually met Joe Biden in May 2017. Hunter Biden

subsequently engaged Mr. Bobulinski as his business partner to serve as the

CEO of SinoHawk Holdings, a company designed to find investments in the

United States. Ultimately, a partnership was formed between the Chinese

3
Communist Party/Chairman Ye through their surrogate, China Energy

Company Limited (“CEFC”), a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate, and

the Biden family.

13. Leaked emails eventually raised questions about whether Hunter

Biden was profiting off his father’s name when he was Vice President of the

United States.

14. The emails showed that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter’s business

dealings with foreign nations and even personally benefited from them. They

contradicted Joe Biden’s several prior assertions that he had no involvement

with his son’s business dealings.

15. An email dated May 13, 2017, discussed remuneration packages

regarding a business deal with a now-bankrupt Chinese company proposing an

equity split of “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?”

16. The reference to “the Big Guy” was used by James Gilliar to refer

to Joe Biden in emails to maintain confidentiality. Hunter Biden referred to

his father as “my chairman.”

17. Mr. Bobulinski, who considers himself to be a political moderate

and previously donated to members of the Democrat Party, decided to put

principles above political party. He confirmed to the United States Senate the

veracity of the emails, that Joe Biden was involved with his son’s business

4
dealings with foreign nations, and that the Biden family accepted money from

foreign nations.

18. Indeed, Mr. Bobulinski came forward because of the lies Joe Biden

was telling about his involvement with his son’s business dealings.

19. Mr. Bobulinski confirmed that he saw, firsthand, that Hunter

Biden would frequently go to his father for his approval or advice for various

business deals.

20. Additionally, during the course of their business relationship, Mr.

Bobulinski grew concerned that Hunter Biden was using the Chinese company

as his “personal piggy bank,” and Mr. Bobulinski needed to take certain steps

at the board level to minimize that risk.

21. On October 22, 2020, Mr. Bobulinski attended the presidential

debate as President Trump’s guest.

22. On November 1, 2020, Mr. Bobulinski attended one of President

Trump campaign rallies in Rome, Georgia, and briefly met with Mark

Meadows, President Trump’s Chief of Staff, during the rally.

Defendant’s Background

23. Defendant served as the principal assistant to Mark Meadows

when he served as President Trump’s Chief of Staff.

24. Ms. Hutchinson was with President Trump and Mr. Meadows for

most of the events on January 6, 2021, and was subsequently subpoenaed by

5
the United States House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack (the

“Committee”).

25. After the Committee subpoenaed Ms. Hutchinson to testify, Ms.

Hutchinson approached numerous lawyers for representation. It was evident

that Ms. Hutchinson was concerned about the expense of such representation.

She sought assistance to pay for legal counsel from multiple sources, including

a political action committee (“PAC”) that supports President Trump, Save

America PAC.

26. Save America PAC confirmed Ms. Hutchinson qualified for funds

through a vetting process. Ms. Hutchinson connected with attorney Stefan

Passantino and his law partners.

27. After two interviews with the Committee, a member of the House

of Representatives communicated directly with Ms. Hutchinson, knowingly

bypassing her lawyer. According to Ms. Hutchinson, the Representative told

her that because Mr. Passantino was being paid by a Trump-affiliated third-

party, Passantino would not be advancing her interests, but rather, would be

advancing those of former President Trump and his allies.

28. This communication, and other nefarious conduct involving the

Committee for which Mr. Passantino has filed his own litigation, unjustifiably

undermined Ms. Hutchinson’s trust in Mr. Passantino and improperly

disrupted their attorney-client relationship.

6
29. Thereafter, upon information and belief based upon the sworn

testimony of Ms. Hutchinson, Congresswoman Liz Cheney and Counsel Dan

George of the Select Committee established a “backchannel” of communication

with Ms. Hutchinson. Ms. Hutchinson provided information, directly or

through an intermediary, to the Committee and arranged for the Committee

to summon her for a third interview.

30. After the third interview, Ms. Hutchinson engaged new counsel.

Thereafter, she worked with the Committee to arrange for a public appearance

on June 28, 2022, which was broadcasted live by all major national cable news

organizations, and which was reported prominently by all major national

media outlets.

31. Following her public appearance, Ms. Hutchinson realized the

potential for profit and sat for additional media interviews on September 14

and 15, 2022.

32. During the third and subsequent round of media interviews, Ms.

Hutchinson began to tell a story rife with lies for the purposes of advancing

her own career and bolstering her precarious financial position.

33. Ms. Hutchinson published a book and made regular media

appearances promoting the lies contained in her book.

34. Of the many lies Ms. Hutchinson told, perhaps the most egregious

was when she asserted that President Trump attempted to grab the steering

7
wheel of “the beast” (a term known to be used in reference to the Presidential

limousine) and wrestle control of the vehicle from the Secret Service on

January 6th. President Trump, however, was not in “the beast” on January

6th, and every secret service agent with direct knowledge has refuted Ms.

Hutchinson’s baseless claim.1

35. Ms. Hutchinson further stated that President Trump grabbed the

neck area of Secret Service agent, Bobby Engel. Mr. Engel subsequently, and

publicly, stated that was also false.2

36. Among her many lies about her representation, Ms. Hutchinson

lied that her attorney attempted to dissuade her from testifying. In now

publicly available text messages, Ms. Hutchinson made it clear that she did

not want to comply, however, her attorney was encouraging her to comply.3

37. Ms. Hutchinson further lied when she testified that she did not

know her attorney had any affiliation with President Trump notwithstanding

the fact that she approached Save America PAC for help finding an attorney.

Eventually, Save America PAC assisted Ms. Hutchinson to engage Mr.

Passantino who had represented several Trump administration staffers who

were similarly in need of legal assistance but were struggling financially.

38. Ms. Hutchinson turned her attention and malignancy towards Mr.

Bobulinski by lying about his interactions with Mark Meadows. She did so

intending to profit personally by impugning those who associated with the

Trump Administration, regardless how briefly or tenuously.

Defendants’ Defamatory Conduct

39. On September 26, 2023, Defendant published a book titled

“Enough.”

40. In this book, Defendant lied that Mr. Meadows handed Mr.

Bobulinski “what appeared to be a folded sheet of paper or a small envelope.”4

41. Specifically, Defendant wrote:

In the shadows of the bleachers, I observed Mark and Tony


Bobulinski’s interaction through a gap in the vehicles. 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. He was silent for several moments as we
made our way back to the staff holding area.

4 CASSIDY HUTCHINSON, ENOUGH (2023) at 221.

9
“You and I, we have seen a lot together, done a lot together,” Mark
said, his head still tilted toward the ground. I cleared my throat.
“Yes, Mark. We have.” He abruptly stopped walking and stuck his
arm out to stop me. Our eyes locked.

“Oh, don’t look so frightened.” He dropped his arm. “I just want to


thank you for working so hard. It’s quite difficult to find someone
as loyal as you.” He flashed a smile, the kind of smile that doesn’t
change the shape of your eyes. He disappeared around the corner,
his Secret Service agents trailing him.5

42. At no point did Mr. Meadows hand Mr. Bobulinski any sheet of

paper or envelope. As a direct result of Ms. Hutchinson’s lies, Mr. Bobulinski

was asked, and answered under oath, questions about this on February 13,

2024, before the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and

Accountability and the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Bobulinski stated,

“He didn’t hand me a single thing.”

43. Ms. Hutchinson made this accusation to imply that Mr. Bobulinski

was involved with some sort of shady business dealing with Mr. Meadows.

44. Further, Ms. Hutchinson juxtaposed a series of facts in order to

create a defamatory implication.

45. Ms. Hutchinson wrote about the true facts, that Mr. Bobulinski

had a meeting with Mr. Meadows during a Trump campaign rally, however,

she interposed commentary that gave a defamatory impression.

5 Id.

10
46. Specifically, Defendant wrote:

I didn’t know much about Tony Bobulinski, just that he was a


former business associate of Hunter Biden’s and had something to
do with the laptop controversy. Trump had brought him as a guest
to the presidential debate in Nashville on October 22. I wasn’t
tracking the story closely enough to know more. But as Mark
approached, I had a weird feeling that we were in danger. I
couldn’t explain it, but the feeling was real. “Mark shouldn’t do
this,” I said to Tony. “He’s being set up.” Tony shrugged. “Don’t
overthink things. It’s not a big deal. Chief knows what he’s doing.
Bobulinski came with us to Nashville, remember? Don’t worry,
kid.” He patted my shoulder and walked away as Mark approached
me.

“You’re not meeting Tony Bobulinski here, Mark. We can send


someone from the campaign.” I heard my voice whine with
childlike desperation. “Please, Mark. This isn’t a good idea. Just
trust me.” Mark looked at his Secret Service agent, then back at
me. “Just go find him, and work with Secret Service to find a
hidden spot. Come get me once you have him there.”

“This is really stupid of you, Mark. I don’t know what’s going on,
but it’s really stupid,” I said. He didn’t have time to respond as I
ushered him into the makeshift area, away from cameras, as
requested, but not from watchful Secret Service eyes.

I had done what they had asked of me, not questioning it, but now
I started to put together all the moments like this one that didn’t
add up. I could not shake the feeling that I had been entangled in
something far more complex and secretive than I had initially
realized.6

6 Id. at 218-222.

11
47. This commentary, surrounding what was, in fact, an innocent

meeting, provided the false implication that Mr. Bobulinski and Mr. Meadows

were involved in some sort of nefarious dealings, and painted Mr. Bobulinski

in a false and negative light.

48. Defendant’s account is false. In reality, the meeting between Mr.

Bobulinski and Mr. Meadows was simply an exchange of pleasantries.

49. Indeed, once Mr. Bobulinski was thrusted into the public spotlight,

which was not his intention, for simply telling his firsthand account of the

truth about the Biden family, Mr. Bobulinski became the subject of death

threats and he had to move his family into a hotel and hire a former SEAL

team as his own security.

50. When Mr. Bobulinski attended President Trump’s rally, he did so

as a regular attendee would, not as a VIP guest or invitee, because he simply

wanted to see what the rallies were like. At some point, Mr. Meadows, whom

Mr. Bobulinski had met one week prior, became aware that Mr. Bobulinski

was in attendance, and asked to meet with him for the sole purpose of checking

on his and his family’s health and safety due to the ongoing threats against

them.

51. At no point during Mr. Bobulinski’s meeting with Mr. Meadows

did they discuss politics or the Biden family. Mr. Meadows merely checked on

the well-being of Mr. Bobulinski and his family.

12
52. The meeting occurred in private because Mr. Bobulinski feared for

his safety and did not want to be recognized by virtue of meeting with Mr.

Meadows. Ms. Hutchinson’s malicious intention to besmirch the character of

Mr. Bobulinski was so successful that it not only prompted the foregoing

Congressional hearing cross examination, but it also prompted another

member of Congress to offensively ask him to confirm, under oath, that he wore

a ski mask when he met with Mr. Meadows, which Mr. Bobulinski

unequivocally rejected. The belief that he had worn a ski mask to that meeting

became so pervasive, as a consequence of Ms. Hutchinson’s lies, that memes

about it were posted on social media, such as the below, as compared to an

actual photo of Plaintiff, a decorated Navy veteran:

53. Defendant’s defamatory statements about Mr. Bobulinski were

knowingly and recklessly false. She was well aware that there was no

13
wrongdoing at this meeting, and that there was no exchange of papers or

envelopes. As Mr. Meadows’ principal assistant, Defendant had an insight into

Mr. Meadows’ meetings, yet she lied about this meeting.

54. Defendant made the defamatory statements in an attempt to sell

her book and obtain further media appearances to bolster her public image.

55. Defendant did not attempt to conceal her malice toward Mr.

Bobulinski, writing that when he was around, she felt she was “in danger.”

56. Defendant further elaborated on the ill-will she felt towards Mr.

Bobulinski, writing irrationally that:

I did not see Mark until Air Force One landed in Fayetteville,
North Carolina, for the first rally of the day. We met on the tarmac
and I handed him a pack of trail mix. We fell into an uncomfortable
silence as he slowly ate. I still had a pit in my stomach from the
Tony Bobulinski interaction the night before, but I had a feeling
Mark had either already forgotten about it or did not want to talk
about it. He crushed the trail mix wrapper and I watched it flutter
to the ground as he began to walk in the direction of the overflow
crowd. I picked up the wrapper and jogged to catch up with him.

I had never been so physically and mentally exhausted in my life,


and I was already worried about driving home. But something had
shifted in me the night before when I saw Mark interact with Tony
Bobulinski, and my unease deepened throughout the day. The
version of me that would exchange champagne toasts to
presumptively celebrate a second Trump term was inauthentic,
but that was the me I had become.

It was a painful realization, one without rationale. I felt heavy


with shame that I had been pulled into the center of the political
universe, mostly by my own doing. I did not belong on Air Force

14
One, drinking champagne or musing over ball gowns I could not
afford. I was consumed with fear that my past had infiltrated the
life I was building. I felt that I had betrayed the world that had
made me, and I began to grapple with the question of who I truly
was amidst this sea of power and privilege.

As I drove home, I gripped the wheel of my car with both hands


and squinted to stay awake. My body had begun to shiver again,
ready to collapse, as I wrestled with oppressive self-criticism.7

57. Defendant doubled down on this irrational thought process in an

interview on Cable News Network with Jake Tapper. In response to a question

from Mr. Tapper asking why Mr. Bobulinski met with Mr. Meadows,

Defendant answered “You are asking the same questions I’ve asked myself

since that night.”8 This overwrought, melodramatic response was intended to

further create the false impression that a meeting between Mr. Bobulinski and

Mr. Meadows was, somehow, inappropriate, unethical and/or even illegal.

58. It was Defendant’s feelings of ill-will toward Mr. Bobulinski and

the Trump administration, along with self-promoting her own financial

opportunities, that drove her to repeatedly lie about Mr. Bobulinski.

COUNT I
Defamation

60. Mr. Bobulinski realleges and incorporates the paragraphs above.

61. In her book, Defendant defamed Mr. Bobulinski by asserting that

Mr. Meadows secretly handed him “what appeared to be a folded sheet of paper

or a small envelope.”

62. This allegation is categorically false, and Defendant knew it to be

false, or made it with reckless disregard for the truth. Mr. Meadows never gave

Mr. Bobulinski any piece of paper or envelope.

63. Defendant published the defamatory statement in a book and has

repeated it in media interviews.

64. Defendant’s defamatory statement was reasonably intended and

understood to be a statement of fact, as Defendant, under no uncertain terms,

claimed that Mr. Meadows did, in fact, hand Mr. Bobulinski “what appeared

to be a folded sheet of paper or a small envelope.”

65. The defamatory statement, combined with her melodramatic and

overwrought description of the meeting as being clandestine and fear-inducing,

has a defamatory meaning because it creates the impression with an ordinary

9 Enough, AMAZON, https://www.amazon.com/Enough-Cassidy-


Hutchinson/dp/166802828X (last visited Jan. 3, 2023).

16
reader that what was in fact an innocuous interaction between two men was

something illicit, immoral, and/or even illegal.

66. The defamatory statement has directly and proximately caused

Mr. Bobulinski to suffer significant damages, including direct damages,

damages to his reputation, humiliation, embarrassment, mental anguish,

anxiety, and fear for his safety and the safety of his family members, all of

which are ongoing in nature and will be suffered in the future. These damages

were foreseeable to Defendant.

67. Defendant, therefore, is liable for compensatory damages.

68. Defendant’s defamatory statement also harmed Mr. Bobulinski’s

business, including lost opportunities.

69. Due to Defendant’s specific intent to harm Mr. Bobulinski,

Defendant is liable for punitive damages because of the wanton and outrageous

nature of the defamation.

70. Defendant acted with actual malice and reckless disregard for the

truth, or at the very least, negligent, as demonstrated by Defendant’s extreme

antipathy, ill-will, and desire to inflict harm on Mr. Bobulinski, her blatant

fabrication, her actual knowledge of the falsity of her statement, and her

reckless disregard for truth.

71. As a result of Defendant’s conduct, Mr. Bobulinski has suffered

damages in excess of $75,000.

17
COUNT II
Defamation by Implication

72. Mr. Bobulinski realleges and incorporates the paragraphs above.

73. Defendant juxtaposed a series of true facts, that Mr. Bobulinski

met with Mr. Meadows during a Trump campaign rally, to give the defamatory

implication that Mr. Bobulinski was, in fact, involved in illicit, unethical, and

possibly illegal activities with Mr. Meadows and the Trump campaign.

74. This implication was not merely opinion, rather, it was an

assertion of fact that something illicit and unethical was happening.

75. This is a reasonable interpretation because Defendant described

feeling like she was in danger once Mr. Bobulinski arrived, that it was a

“stupid” idea for Mr. Meadows to meet with Mr. Bobulinski, and that she felt

she had “betrayed the world that had made me” because of her knowledge of

the meeting Mr. Meadows and Mr. Bobulinski.

76. The implication was unequivocally false. In reality, Mr. Bobulinski

met with Mr. Meadows because Mr. Bobulinski was experiencing death threats

and Mr. Meadows wanted to check on his well-being. The meeting was utterly

innocuous.

77. Defendant’s defamatory statements were made with actual malice,

reckless disregard for the truth, or negligence, as demonstrated by Defendant’s

extreme antipathy, ill-will, and desire to inflict harm on Mr. Bobulinski.

18
78. The defamatory implication has directly and proximately caused

Mr. Bobulinski to suffer significant damages, including direct damages,

damages to his reputation, humiliation, embarrassment, mental anguish,

anxiety, and fear for his safety and the safety of his family members, all of

which are ongoing in nature and will be suffered in the future. Additionally,

Defendant’s false light has caused Mr. Bobulinski to lose business

opportunities. These damages were foreseeable to Defendant.

79. As a result of Defendant’s conduct, Mr. Bobulinski has suffered

damages in excess of $75,000.

COUNT III
False Light Invasion of Privacy

80. Mr. Bobulinski realleges and incorporates the paragraphs above.

81. Defendant, through her book and description of Mr. Bobulinski’s

meeting with Mr. Meadows, gave publicity to matters involving Mr. Bobulinski

that unreasonably placed him in a false light and violated his right of privacy.

Defendant generated publicity about Mr. Bobulinski that is false.

82. The false light is highly offensive to any reasonable person because

it suggests that Mr. Bobulinski was, in fact, involved in illicit, unethical, and

possibly illegal activities with Mr. Meadows and the Trump campaign.

83. Defendant knew the falsity of the publicized matter and the false

light in which she placed Mr. Bobulinski and/or acted with reckless disregard

19
for the truth or falsity of the publicized matter and the false light in which she

placed Mr. Bobulinski.

84. As demonstrated by Defendant’s ill-will towards Mr. Bobulinski,

Defendant intended to place Mr. Bobulinski in this false light.

85. The defamatory implication has directly and proximately caused

Mr. Bobulinski to suffer significant damages, including direct damages,

damages to his reputation, humiliation, embarrassment, mental anguish,

anxiety, and fear for his safety and the safety of his family members, all of

which are ongoing in nature and will be suffered in the future. Additionally,

Defendant’s false light has caused Mr. Bobulinski to lose business

opportunities. These damages were foreseeable to Defendant.

86. As a result of Defendant’s conduct, Mr. Bobulinski has suffered

damages in excess of $75,000.
