Hope Hicks, former campaign adviser and White House communications director for President Donald Trump, will testify before the House Judiciary Committee this week. But under a negotiated agreement with Chairman Jerrold Nadler, Hicks will testify behind closed doors. No cameras, no live audience, no visuals -- just a stenographer's rote recording of Hicks's testimony, released publicly after the fact.

By allowing Hicks to testify in private, Nadler has botched a rare opportunity to give the public a visceral, firsthand look at Trump's efforts to derail the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller. Elie HonigHicks is, in a sense, the Forrest Gump of the Mueller investigation: she somehow witnessed seemingly every major event in Trump's prolonged campaign to obstruct justice.

White House will assert immunity for Hope Hicks during congressional testimonyDems on the House Judiciary Committee plan to question Pres. Trump's long-time confidante Hope Hicks about her knowledge of the hush-money scheme to silence Trump's extramarital affairs in the run-up to the 2016 elections, according to a committee aide Yawn. I hope they ask her about her sexual encounters with the POTUS. Lol. It's no longer Russia. The bar (or is it Barr?) is constantly shifting. Best advice: stop the witch hunt, they're injuring themselves.
