Orange lies might be more revealing than white ones about how Trump’s a loser and “steering” him would be “a waste of time”.
Hope Hicks's appearance before the Select Committee shows that the committee continues to interview those close to Trump in the days surrounding Jan. 6.
But it’s unclear how helpful Hicks will be. During a prior interview with the House Judiciary Committee in 2019, she refused to answer numerous questions about her time in the White House.
x But what I forgot is that The Trump Whisperer came back to the White House in the last months of 2020. And that during that time, in addition to her notoriously getting COVID weeks before the election, she joined the likes of Bill Barr in flatly telling Trump he lost. 2/ — Lisa Rubin (@lawofruby) October 25, 2022
x Here’s some reporting about what Hicks said to Trump that refreshed my recollection about why her testimony matters, especially as the committee lacks Trump’s own firsthand account, at least to date. 4/

After the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump's longtime aide Hope Hicks told him what he didn't want to hear: He lost.
The close aide was preparing to leave the White House and stayed away from Trump's 2020 election challenges, even as he brooded and "talked of little else" in the aftermath of the race being called for President Joe Biden, wrote New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker and New Yorker staff writer and CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser in their new book "The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021."
Hicks told Trump it was time to move on, according to the book set to publish Tuesday.
"Trump responded bitterly. 'Well, Hope doesn't believe in me,' he would say in meetings," they wrote. "'No, I don't,' she would reply. 'Nobody's convinced me otherwise.' She concluded any further efforts to try to steer Trump would simply be, as she told an associate, 'a waste of time.'"
Hicks worked for the Trump Organization and campaign before serving on the White House communications team and then, after some time at Fox Corporation, as counselor to Trump. But she was "marginalized" after telling Trump his election challenge was wrong and "did not even bother to go into the office" on January 6, 2021, the day of the Capitol insurrection, according to the authors.
