During Donald Trump's criminal trial, former aide Hope Hicks provided testimony that was seen as both potentially damaging and ambiguous in its impact. Hicks discussed her knowledge of a payment made by Trump's former attorney to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016, which was part of the trial's focus, often referred to as the 'HushMoneyTrial'. Various reports described her testimony as a 'devastating blow' to Trump, while others suggested it might have backfired on the prosecution, as noted by Gregg Jarrett and criticized by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. Her emotional state during the testimony, marked by tears, indicated the personal difficulty of the situation. The testimony was reported by Emma Pitts and commented on by @ericlach.

"Hicks isn’t a wounded dove who somehow flew unknowingly into Trump’s cave. She’s an adult who was privy to the dissembling, thuggery and rot that governs much of Trump’s behavior and she helped facilitate some of it," @TimOBrien says https://t.co/cKH37LmY4N via @opinion
