YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHope Hicks, a former top aide to Donald Trump, wept on the witness stand Friday after dramatic testimony about the 2016 campaign’s panic over explosive stories detailing the former president’s alleged extramarital affairs.
Hicks gave jurors at the New York trial an inside account at Trump’s hush-money trial about how his campaign dealt with a crisis that erupted when the infamous Access Hollywood tape came out weeks before the 2016 election. On that tape, made in 2005, Trump made vulgar comments about sexually assaulting women.
She said she was “just a little stunned” and she could see “this was going to be a massive story” that would dominate the news cycle for days. Hicks also testified how the campaign scrambled to contain the fallout from other stories.
Hicks recounted Trump’s adamant denial of a sexual encounter with Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who got a $130,000 payment in 2016 that’s at the center of the case against the former president. Prosecutors say Trump falsified business records to cover up his repayment to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer, who had transferred the money to Daniels.
