Donald Trump’s criminal case didn’t just feature the businessman’s terrible hair, but a former close friend and White House employee — Hope Hicks. One thing you may not know about Hicks is that her and Trump go way back, and she eventually became one of his White House aides. In the past couple of years, however, Hicks has found herself having to testify regarding some of Trump’s legal issues, including the January 6 riots. Turns out, Hicks’ days of testifying were far from over as she has been the latest to take the stand for Trump’s criminal case.
It’s not surprising Trump has looked terrible at the defense table, especially with testimonies like Hicks’. From the infamous Access Hollywood tape to personal conversations, Hicks left no detail out about her relationship with Trump and his team. At one point, she even claimed she asked for Jared Kushner’s help in trying to delay the information about Daniels’ affair with the former U.S. president. She said (via the Associated Press), “He had a very good relationship with Rupert Murdoch and I was hoping to see if we could buy a little extra time to deal with this.” Kushner apparently told Hicks that it didn’t seem like a possibility to delay the news, but this testimony showed the jury there was worry about the affair getting out. Hicks’ testimony is just one of the many to come as the trial appears continuously takes a toll on Trump.
