Yesterday, rounding out the Trump trial’s second week was testimony from Hope Hicks, former Trump advisor and campaign communications director — yet another trusted aide with whom the former president seems to have had a falling out (hers stemming from disillusionment over the “stop the steal” scheme and the Capitol riot).
