During recent testimony, former White House communications director Hope Hicks discussed the media coverage surrounding the infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape. Hicks described the coverage as intense, noting that it dominated the news cycle for a significant period of time.
According to Hicks, the coverage of the tape was so pervasive that it pushed news of a category 4 hurricane out of the spotlight. She stated that for the following 36 hours, the focus was solely on the revelations from the tape.
