<snip>
WASHINGTON President Donald Trumps former aide Hope Hicks arrived on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning to testify behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee.
Democrats planned to focus their questions on what they say are five crimes of obstruction of justice established by the Mueller Report against Trump, as well as campaign finance violations involved with alleged election-year hush money payments.
Her appearance marks the first time a former Trump aide has come in to answer questions before that panel as part of Democrats obstruction of justice investigation. A transcript of the interview will be released, though it may not appear for several days.
Other issues Democrats plan to question Hicks about include Trumps conduct and attitude towards former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Trumps reaction when former Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation and the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, among others.

(32,639 posts)The behind-closed-doors stuff is meant to keep Chump guessing, and maybe protect her a little bit. It's only temporary because everything goes on the record. Don't forget that everything that happened in the Watergate hearings and Bill Clinton's blowjob lynching was all eventually published.

(22,073 posts)Or lie with impunity? I'm sure a lot of her interaction with tRump was one on one. No corroborating witnesses.

I would be surprised if she said very much.

(57,446 posts)It's worth noting that no legal authority is provided for the preposterous claim that there is a "long-standing" principle that senior advisors are "absolutely immune" from testifying.
