Did Hope Hicks Incriminate Donald Trump?

December 21, 2022 · 9:23 am ET · Leave a Comment

“She has always been one of Donald Trump’s most all-knowing and loyal confidantes. But the Jan. 6 committee got former top White House advisor Hope Hicks on record incriminating the former president,” USA Today reports.

“More is likely to come out about that as early as Wednesday, when the committee is expected to release its long-awaited final report into Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and foment an assault on the Capitol based on false claims of voter fraud. And it will begin making public the transcripts of its interviews with as many as 1,000 witnesses – including Hicks – done over the course of its exhaustive 18-month probe.”

“But based on what the committee has revealed already, what Hicks said about Trump is likely to be damning, and potentially devastating to him, both in the court of public opinion and a court of law should he ever be prosecuted, according to former prosecutors and legal experts.”
