Prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money trial are delving further into his inner circle, with former White House official Hope Hicks taking the witness stand. Hicks provided insight into a crucial period during the 2016 campaign when a damaging recording of Trump surfaced, causing chaos within the campaign.
The recording, known as the 'Access Hollywood' tape, captured Trump making controversial remarks about women. In response, Trump and his allies worked to prevent the release of other potentially embarrassing stories, including making hush money payments to a porn actor and a Playboy model who claimed to have had encounters with Trump before his political career.
