Former Trump Aide Hope Hicks Testifies in Hush Money Trial
The Lead with Jake Tapper
May 4, 2024

Today one of Donald Trump’s most loyal aides and the first former Trump White House employee to testify took the stand in the hush money cover up trial. Hope Hicks acknowledged to the jury that she was nervous to testify at times and she did in one instance cry on the stand leading to a brief delay in the trial. She testified about the campaign’s panic behind the scenes when they learned of the now infamous Access Hollywood tape.
