A former close advisor to Donald Trump testified in court Friday about the “crisis” that engulfed his 2016 presidential campaign after a tape emerged of him bragging about groping women.<\/p>\n

Hope Hicks was the first ex-member of Trump’s inner circle to take the stand in his historic criminal trial — in which he stands charged of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star to avoid another scandal before the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

“(I) was a little stunned,” Hicks said of the now infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump was heard boasting about grabbing women’s genitalia.<\/p>\n

“There was consensus among us all that the tape was damaging, this was a crisis,” she added.<\/p>\n

Hicks was subpoenaed to appear by the prosecution, which has argued that the panic engendered by the tape triggered a Trump campaign effort to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels over her claim of a sexual encounter with the married Trump.<\/p>\n

At the trial in New York, Trump is accused of reimbursing his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment to Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton.\u09ac\u09bf\u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09bf\u09a4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
