It’s a cliché to say that electricity surged through a courtroom — but it did when Hope Hicks took the stand Friday morning for her testimony in the election interference trial of former President Donald Trump.

Another devastating blow came at the very end of Hicks’ direct testimony when she revealed a stunning trifecta: that, while president, Trump had admitted to her that he knew his then-fixer Michael Cohen had paid Daniels, that Trump attempted to blame Cohen and that Hicks did not believe him. She also stated that Trump felt it was better to be dealing with it after the election than beforehand. She appeared so distraught — presumably about throwing her former boss under the bus — that she then began crying.

    that she then began crying.

    Sob I never imagined when I started working for a sociopathic narcissist that he would do bad things and then only think of himself sob sob.

      Let them feel the shame. Its the first time they’ve felt it since their golden idol gave them a free pass to be the gapping assholes they always wanted

        They don’t feel shame. Nobody spending any amount of time working for Donald could possibly feel shame.

        If they’ve been living under a rock for the last few decades five minutes of dealing with him will cure their ignorance and they will quit. Everyone who works with him that isn’t (somehow!) unaware of his fraud and corruption is a shameless sociopath. There is so much fraud and corruption.
