Former White House aide Hope Hicks refused to answer questions about several key incidents related to President Donald Trump’s potential obstruction of justice investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a transcript of her congressional testimony released Thursday.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee questioned Hicks for nearly seven hours on Wednesday in a closed-door hearing. Democrats expressed some frustration with the former aide for refusing to answer any questions about her time at the White House. Democrats on the committee said lawyers representing the Trump administration blocked Hicks from answering questions 155 times. Hicks and her legal team said she was “following the instructions from the White House.”
Hicks served as one of President Donald Trump’s closest advisers, ending her tenure as the White House communications director in March of 2018. After tweeting on Wednesday that Democrats were putting Hicks “through hell,” Trump told reporters on Thursday at the White House that he “heard she was terrific” during the hearing.This is a developing story.
