Donald Trump trial LIVE: Former president faces Day 12 in court for hush money case

Court wrapped on Friday with former Donald Trump aide Hope Hicks delivering riveting testimony in the hush money case.

Hicks worked for the Trump Organization before becoming press secretary on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and then working as a top aide in the Trump administration.

During her at times emotional testimony, Hicks shared a behind the scenes look at the handling of some of the biggest moments for the ex-president’s 2016 campaign including how Trump responded to the release of the Access Hollywood tape as well as the Wall Street Journal reporting on the alleged Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels affairs.

Hicks recalled at one point Trump did tell her about the payment to Stormy Daniels.

She also shared how Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen was looped in during the 2016 campaign but testified how he would go rogue and was known to insert himself.

Donald Trump returns to a New York courtroom on Monday, where he will be forced to sit silently while others testify about his efforts during the 2016 presidential election to cover up news of an alleged tryst with a porn star.

Trump's criminal hush money trial, entering its 12th day, has featured testimony from a top aide and a former tabloid publisher about efforts during his first presidential bid to tamp down stories of unflattering sexual behavior.

New York prosecutors have charged Trump with falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had a sexual encounter with him in 2006. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies ever having sex with Daniels
