The mere label that something is hearsay does not, by itself, mean it is not credible or highly relevant and persuasive evidence. Hearsay, even double and triple hearsay, can be much more credible that direct eyeball testimony which is subject to all kinds of failures. of its own.
There are dozens of exceptions to the hearsay rule. As any trial lawyer will tell you, if you can't get hearsay evidence in, you shouldn't be trying cases.
I'm not even sure this Hutchinson stuff is hearsay. It's not being offered to prove Trump threw spaghetti at Giuliani or punched the Secret Service agent, but rather to show that various people in Trump's inner circle believed he was capable of such acts when Trump was in a highly emotional, unstable and troubled state of mine. In other words, he wasn't being contemplative, he was spazzing out hard as a legal state of mind.
A lot of what she is testifying to is rumor / hearsay. She jumps to conclusions to a lot of things she never witnessed first hand.

Other than the steering wheel story, Hutchinson's testimony concerned first hand accounts. Not hearsay.
She's claiming things happened that she didn't actually see... which are disputed by the people that actually saw them.
Only Amber Heard's lawyers would put this woman on the stand in an actual trial.
Trump is saying Hutch has serious mental problems. That is something worth investigating. If Hutch was all looney, that would affect her perceptions of reality. These crazy people will say anything. I don't think certified loons are even allowed to testify under oath, because they can't grasp the gravity of the situation. They are like freaks of nature in that regard as far as testimony.
Because Trump is saying it, it is worth investigating?

Ummm . . . yah!
The TDS on this thread has gotten worse and once again this is the wrong thread, libs.

That's interesting.
Trump says he knows she has mental problems but he also says he barely knows who she is.
Additionally, Ms. Hutchinson, who he says has mental problems, worked just a few steps away from the Oval Office. She was in countless meetings with the president.
So this person Trump hardly knew, except he knows she has mental problems, was allowed to work in the West Wing handling numerous sensitive matters for the Chief of Staff.
The only thing Trump knows about the people in his office is that they have mental problems and they are allowed to continue working there.
Fats, all due respect, your response was essentially incorrect. Here is the appropriate reply to that post (and not uncommon on this thread), particularly the first two sentences:

The Left can't get enough of this guy, and neither can the far right. I find if baffling. The GOP needs to be rid of that guy. He might be the one person in the USA that could actually lose to Biden, (should Biden run.)
Gavin Newsom vs Trump would be a big W for the Dems. Even given the botched job of Biden & Co.

"Thank you for the inadvertent satire."
....but yes, slightly more seriously, it's always nice to point out how oblivious Trump (and his Trumpers) are to the self-owning nature of his habit of regularly bitterly denigrating his former employees and associates.
"This guy SUCKED. Really, really bad. He's THE WORST. THAT'S why I picked him to be this country's SECDEF, SECSTATE, etc., etc., etc."
And it NEVER dawns on the rubes that that MIGHT be a good sign that he's not QUITE the genius that he and they think he is.......

Away from the right, it's really not hard to understand. Thinking Americans are, fully justifiably, very afraid of what Trump and Trumpism currently means - and could mean (even worse) - for this country.

yeah well the prime benefit to m'agas of having trump be president is that he fights against the Dems and anyone in his way. They don't care about policy except the 3-4 wedge issues.
So the m'agas are more than happy to see trump insult and slam people. The cruelty is the feature of a trump presidency, not the bug. The same people who roll coal on cyclists love Trump, for the same reasons. Trump understand this very well.
