On Nov. 4, 2016, Hope Hicks, a close associate of Donald Trump, was involved in handling media inquiries and managing information related to Trump's alleged affairs with Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels. In 2016, when the Wall Street Journal was about to publish details of McDougal's story, which was purchased but not published by the National Enquirer, Hicks testified that Trump was concerned about how the revelation would affect his wife, Melania. Hicks revealed that she was instructed by Trump to ensure that newspapers were not delivered to their residence to prevent Melania from seeing the stories. Additionally, when the story about Stormy Daniels's $130,000 payment came to light in 2018, Hicks discussed the matter with Trump. Frantic texts sent by Hicks highlight the urgency of the situation.
