Testimony released Thursday by the panel showed former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks told the House Judiciary Committee that she “lived” special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
Asked by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) whether she read Mueller's report, Hicks responded that she had not.
“No, sir. I lived the Mueller report,” she said.
Hicks told Cicilline she could not recall any instances of President Trump asking anyone else to lie during the campaign or during the transition.
Hicks declined to answer as to whether she had ever witnessed Trump asking anyone to lie during her time at the White House, saying she was “following the guidance of the White House.
Asked by Cicilline whether her refusal to answer was based on a privilege, one of Hicks’ lawyers responded that it was not.
In response to further questioning from Cicilline, Hicks said she “[didn’t] know what the direct impact was” to the Trump campaign of material relating to Hillary Clinton’s campaign being hacked.
Hicks also disputed the characterization that the Trump campaign was “happy” at the dissemination of such information, saying “I think ‘relief that we weren't the only campaign with issues’ is more accurate.”
White House lawyers blocked Hicks from answering questions 155 times, according to the committee. The former communications director testified for eight hours behind closed doors Wednesday after being subpoenaed by the House panel.
I’m glad her lawyer was savvy enough not to cooperate with the Dems. That’s what they always do to us, so let’s turn the tables for a bit. See how they like it. They didn’t like it at all. Good!
She was perfect. Shame on the nasty FReeper(s) who called her a whore and worse because she agreed to testify. Obviously, she knew exactly what she was doing.
It never ceases to amaze - the number of people here who think Trump is an idiot whenever something comes up that requires trust in people he actually has worked side by side with and who they have only read about on the internet.
Disgusting that the fat Jabba the Hut is going after her.
Where’s the screeching from the so-called “Me Too” covens?
I just realized that I’m no longer taking any Russia collusion stories on. Unless Clapper, Brenner or Mule-er are indicted. Already swore off AOC tgreads, fwiw.
Really? Autocorrect could extrapolate “threads” from “ghreads?”
Good plan I’m there with ya.
I so admire her loyalty. She should be rewarded with a plum position in the 2nd term.
She had many lawyers, not just one lawyer.
Hope received better legal advice than someone like Colonel Flynn did, who was told to just give up and plead guilty.
Any Freeper that said any such thing has self Identified as a TROLL and in my opinion should be summarily shunned from any further responses or attention bginning immediately
Remember, DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!!
How to identify a FR Troll
Fascination with polls and blog sliding to feed them and their masters
Approach with caution and avaoid unless you enjoy circular logic and mindless posts
Sic Semper Tyrranis!
From what I hear the dimoKKKRATS were asking her questions about her sex life. Talk about deranged.
That dim bulb should have never been near the White House except as a hospitality girl.
You’re talking apples & oranges, and it’s General Flynn. 8>)
You’re right. General Flynn, not Colonel!
Now corrected.
You have to understand that not everyone who posts on FreeRepublic is a Freeper. Some are trolls
Why would she do that? I’m sure as VP of Fox something or other she’s making millions with them.
Sometimes I think this place should be called “Hill Republic.”
