Hope Hicks, a former spokesperson for Donald Trump, met with Manhattan prosecutors Monday as part of an ongoing investigation into hush money payments purportedly made by the ex-president to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress.
Both Hick's lawyer, Robert Trout, and the district attorney's office declined to comment, per the Associated Press. But the New York Times reported that Hicks is the seventh in a line of witnesses to meet with prosecutors since district attorney Alvin Bragg heard evidence relevant to the case before a grand jury in January. The potential case mounting against Trump concerns his efforts in keeping payments to Daniels, whom he is alleged to have had an affair with in 2006, clandestine. Trump could face minor criminal charges for attempting to cover up the hush money.
