Key Facts

Advertisement SKIP ADVERTISEMENT TRUMP AND HIS ONETIME CONFIDANTE MEET AGAIN, THIS TIME IN A COURTROOM Hope Hicks, once a spokeswoman for Donald J. Trump, broke down in tears on the witness stand as she talked about their time together.
The question that initially unnerved Ms. Hicks was about her time at the Trump Organization, the family’s business, where she had fond memories of working.
Each time the questioning conjured up another memory of working for Mr. Trump — at his company, on his campaign and finally in his White House — Ms. Hicks appeared to fight back tears.
Ms. Hicks, who fell out of favor with Mr. Trump once it emerged that she had privately voiced anger at the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by his supporters, said in her testimony that they had not spoken in nearly two years.
