#HopeHicks testifies that the morning after #MichaelCohen told The NYT that he had paid #StormyDaniels w/o Trump’s knowledge, #Trump told her Cohen made the payment to protect Trump from false allegations & did it “out of the kindness of his heart”.
Hicks is asked what she made of what Trump said.
Hicks says, “I’d say that would be out of character for Michael. I did not know Michael to be an especially charitable or selfless person; he is a kind of person who seeks credit.”
