Itā€™s a clichĆ© to say that electricity surged through a courtroom ā€” but it did whenĀ Hope Hicks took the standĀ Friday morning for her testimony in the election interference trial of former President Donald Trump.

ā€¦

Another devastating blow came at the very end of Hicksā€™ 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 alsoĀ statedĀ that Trump felt it was better to be dealing with it after the election than beforehand. She appeared so distraughtĀ ā€” presumablyĀ about throwing her former boss under the busĀ ā€”Ā that she then began crying.

    This opinion piece is one-sided (imagine that!). She did support the defenseā€™s argument as well. Although the defense is relying on the argument that Donald Trump covered up the paid sex because he didnā€™t want to upset Melania (not the election).

    Of course this argument is laughable. Not only do they have witnesses and documentation (tapes!) where Trump wants it done before the election, this is a man who cheats on his newly married pregnant wife. He barely cares about her reaction at all.

        Well I hope so. Sheā€™s made a huge sacrifice for her familyā€™s sake back home and she deserves some happiness.

      Also, sometimes things are two things, you can do something to interfere with an election and also for other, secondary reasons.
