During her testimony on Friday, Hope Hicks acknowledged the defense's argument that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's actions could be frustrating to the campaign staff. Hicks mentioned that Cohen referred to himself as 'Mr. Fix it,' but she added that he often caused issues before attempting to resolve them.
Hicks clarified that Cohen was not officially part of the campaign team and would occasionally try to involve himself in certain situations. She explained that Cohen operated on a voluntary basis and was not regularly briefed on the campaign's day-to-day strategies.
It was highlighted that the campaign had separate legal counsel, and Cohen was specifically directed to concentrate on promoting Trump's business credentials rather than campaign operations.
