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.
