Democrats will grill Hope Hicks behind closed doors today
After months of futile efforts, House Democrats have finally procured a top witness from President Trump’s inner orbit, but they won’t be grilling her on live television.
With the exception of the hush money payments – which, according to the Wall Street Journal, is still being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York City even though Cohen pleaded guilty – much of these topics were laid out in Mueller’s report. But one committee aide still expressed confidence the interview would yield substantive results. Although the interview will not be open to the public, judiciary committee aides said they would try and release a transcript as soon as possible.
Although Hicks left the White House last year, she had been by the President’s side since he launched his candidacy in 2015, and had worked for the Trump Organization before that. The judiciary committee had issued a subpoena for Hicks last month for both documents and testimony from her time working for Trump.
