Inside Trump’s White House: Hope Hicks Shares Insights from her Time as Communications Director in Court Testimony

On Friday, Hope Hicks, who worked on former President Donald Trump’s campaign in 2016 and was his communications director in the government until 2018, testified in court in New York. During her testimony, she provided insights into her experience working in the White House during Trump’s presidency.

Hicks discussed conversations she had with Trump and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, regarding a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. She also addressed the infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump made controversial remarks about women. Hicks shed light on the atmosphere within Trump’s inner circle following the revelation of extramarital scandals involving women like Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

The judge overseeing the trial ordered a recess after observing Hicks’ emotional state. Despite being nervous at first, Hicks remained composed in her responses. However, she became emotional when defense questioning began. The testimony of Hicks is expected to be crucial in the trial as she had limited communication experience before working for Trump and her relationship with him is expected to be key to understanding his actions while he was President.
