What’s the reason behind Hicks silence when asked about Trump

Former publicist of White House kept mum on questions regarding President Trump

Hope Hicks was once a close aide to the US President. She probably knew a lot. But she chose to keep it all to herself. On Wednesday, the White House publicist was called in for an in-house questioning. The US congressional investigators asked her various questions. All these questions were based on the alleged wrongdoings of Donald Trump.

Various politicians bombarded the 30-year-old with questions of at least six times that the President crossed the line of law. But Hope Hicks was walking on eggshells as she answered. So much so that she was unable to tell them the location of her office.

so you bring in #HopeHicks who refuses to answer any questions about the #MuellerReport … how long are Democrats going to allow people to dictate terms to them? How long until they assert themselves as a co-equal branch of government. Because right now, they look weak!

Later, Trump confounded the Democrats for “putting wonderful Hope Hicks through hell”.

So sad that the Democrats are putting wonderful Hope Hicks through hell, for 3 years now, after total exoneration by Robert Mueller & the Mueller Report. They were unhappy with result so they want a Do Over. Very unfair & costly to her. Will it ever end? Why aren’t they…….
