Cassidy Hutchinson writes in her new book that Mark Meadows declared "we killed Herman Cain."
But a Meadows spokesman says he was "expressing exasperation" about the media blaming Trump.

But this isn't the first time that the phrase "we killed Herman Cain" seemingly originated from top brass in the Trump White House.
According to Jonathan Karl's book on the Trump White House, "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show," an unnamed senior Trump official told a reporter that "we killed Herman Cain," and that many other Trump White House staffers blamed themselves for Cain's death.
