Trump Criminal Trial Wraps-Up For The Week

NEW YORK (AP) — Former longtime Donald Trump adviser Hope Hicks is recounting how his 2016 presidential campaign became embroiled in a political firestorm over a tape in which he boasted about grabbing women without their permission. The infamous “Access Hollywood” tape is central to the case. Prosecutors say it hastened his then-lawyer Michael Cohen’s hush money deal with porn actor Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump years earlier. Hicks testified that after learning of the tape’s existence, she knew it was a “damaging development.”
