During the ongoing criminal trial against former US President Donald Trump, key witness Hope Hicks has criticized Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer. Hicks, who served as communications director for Trump’s 2016 campaign and later the White House, testified that Cohen often caused frustration among campaign staff and engaged in unhelpful actions.
Former White House counsel John Dean has expressed skepticism about Donald Trump testifying in the ongoing hush money trial. Dean suggested that the former president may face uncomfortable questions about prior controversies, including the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and Letitia James’s fraud lawsuit. He also emphasized the significance of the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape, despite its exclusion from the trial, as the transcript will be read to the jurors, potentially highlighting Trump’s derogatory remarks about women.
