Legal experts believe testimony by the former White House communications director makes things more difficult for Trump's defense
Hope Hicks' evidence in the Donald Trump hush money trial has made it harder for the former president to claim he was hiding a potential scandal from his wife, a New York attorney has said.Janos Marton was reacting to testimony on Friday by the former White House communications director, who broke down in the witness stand as she gave evidence against Trump.
New York University law professor Stephen Gillers told Newsweek that Hicks' position as White House communications director gives her evidence credibility.'On one hand, Hicks' testimony duplicates Pecker's, adding only marginal information. However, she is a more powerful witness for the prosecution because, unlike Pecker, she was a senior person in the administration and the 2016 campaign and worked for the Trump Organization.
