Hope Hicks, a former close confidante and trusted aide of Donald Trump, is anticipated to be called as a witness at his upcoming criminal trial related to hush money payments. While the trial is set to commence later this month, Hicks is among several individuals from Trump's inner circle expected to testify, including Michael Cohen and others who were part of his 2016 presidential campaign.
During the 2016 election, Hicks served as Trump's press secretary and could provide insights into the events leading up to the hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. These payments were orchestrated by Cohen to prevent Daniels from disclosing an alleged affair with Trump that could have impacted his campaign.
