Former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows was drunk after accidentally drinking White Claw during a morning meeting after the 2020 election, a new book claims.
Meadows, 64, who is a teetotaler, lashed out at three-and-a-half of the people sitting on the couch during a meeting with Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought — not realizing the drinks contained alcohol, former aide Cassidy Hutchinson wrote in her memoir “Enough,” released Tuesday.
Hutchinson, 27, and her fellow assistant Eliza Thurston found her boss, a “dedicated and devoted Southern Baptist,” under the influence on the couch after Vought left their meeting an hour early, she wrote.
“I’m sitting here with Russ,” Mark explains, “and I’m getting thirsty. I know you girls stock my fridge with sparkling water, so I went and got one. I sat back and took a sip and thought, ‘Wow, this is really good. !’ I looked at it and saw it was a Blackberry, and thought, ‘Those girls have never gotten me this one before,’” Meadows admitted, according to the book.
“I really liked it and drank it quickly, and went and got another. Grapefruit! Another new flavor! Then I got a third and remembered I hadn’t offered Russ one, so I did, and he looked at me strangely and said no ,” the quote continues, noting that Vought also abstained from alcohol as a devout Mormon.

“Russ said to me, ‘Sir I know this is a tough time, but is it really that bad?’ And then … it hit me,” Meadows said with a laugh, according to Hutchinson.
“My head started to feel funny, and I looked down at the can and I saw that it was alcohol. I drank alcohol on Monday morning and I never drank before.”
Meadows later learned that Trump was heading to the Oval Office — a rare occurrence before noon, the book said — and told his subordinates to tell the president he was making an election call so he could “come to his senses.”

The incident is one of the saddest moments in Hutchinson’s book, which also alleges Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani groped her on Jan. 6, 2021, and that Meadows’ lawsuit “smells like campfire” because she burned so many documents in the aftermath of the election.
Trump, Meadows and Giuliani are among 19 people indicted in connection with an alleged plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Trump is also being sued by the feds over his alleged efforts to overturn the election results. Giuliani is likely one of the unnamed conspirators in the case.
Meadows has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering and pleading guilty to perjury by a public official, related to his participation in a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump urged him to “find” enough votes to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory there.
Hutchinson testified before a House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riots, claiming that Trump wanted supporters at the “Stop Theft” rally to carry guns — and that Meadows was “strangely detached” as the violent crowd stormed the building and tried to prevent Congress from ratifying the victory.
