Hicks’ testimony shed light on the frenzied efforts within the campaign to contain the fallout of Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct allegations as the election drew near.

Trump, who faces charges of falsifying business records related to a payment made to Daniels, vehemently denies any wrongdoing.

According to Hicks, Trump was particularly concerned about his wife Melania learning of the allegations.

He instructed Hicks to ensure that newspapers carrying the story weren’t delivered to their residence, underscoring the urgency of the situation.

Prosecutors argue that the hush money paid to Daniels amounted to an attempt to sway the election by concealing damaging information from voters.

They contend that Trump’s actions constitute felony offenses, punishable by prison time.

Hicks’ testimony could potentially bolster Trump’s defense, suggesting that the payment to Daniels was motivated by personal rather than political considerations.

However, she expressed skepticism about Michael Cohen’s purported altruism in facilitating the payment.

During her emotional testimony, Hicks recounted his reaction to the release of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, where he made lewd comments about women.

Despite acknowledging his concern, Hicks portrayed his remarks as mere “locker-room talk.”

As the trial unfolds, key figures such as Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen have yet to take the stand, promising further revelations in the coming days.
