'Ms. Hicks stands by her truthful testimony,' attorney Robert Trout said in a statement issued on Friday.
Hope Hicks' lawyer is refuting evidence from newly unsealed court documents that show the former White House communications director may have lied to Congress about her involvement in the hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
"As I reminded you at the outset of your interview, anything other than complete candor can have very serious consequences," Nadler wrote in his letter to Hicks. The Democratic congressman also listed seven instances where Hicks may have lied during her testimony. The documents show that Hicks spoke with both Donald Trump and Cohen shortly before the negotiations began for the payments made to Daniels to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. The three of them spoke for at least four minutes during a conference call on October 8, 2016.
Former White House communications director Hope Hicks leaves the hearing room during a break at a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee June 19, 2019 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
