During a recent court proceeding, it was revealed that former White House communications director Hope Hicks was shown a document to refresh her memory regarding a conversation she had with then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen. The discussion centered around the $130,000 hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Cohen allegedly informed Hicks that the story of the payment was false, stating that no payment had been made, no relationship had occurred, and that he possessed documentation to support his claim that no payment had been issued.
Following her conversation with Cohen, Hicks sought guidance from President Trump on how their team should address the unfolding situation.
It remains unclear what specific document prosecutors presented to Hicks to aid in jogging her memory. Notably, documents used solely for the purpose of refreshing a witness's recollection do not necessarily need to be shared with jurors, as they are not required to be formally entered into evidence during legal proceedings.
