Cevallos on Hicks: Her Testimony Was Damaging for Trump, But There Were Tidbits in There for Defense

RUSH EXCERPT:
CEVALLOS: "Nothing, except I would say what stood out to me is what Hope Hicks didn’t testify about. I was really curious to see what Hope Hicks was going to say, because unlike people like Michael cohn or stormy Daniel, Hope Hicks has been completely silent other than testifying before, say, a grand jury. We don’t know what she was going to say. So it was possible that we would be hit with some Trump bombshell, because this is somebody that was very close to Trump for a long period of time who may have overheard things. We already know David put in at least two meetings or conferences that were very critical. But on the whole, her testimony, of course, was damaging for Trump but there were little tidbits in there for defense, including painting Michael Cohen, as you said, like a bumbling Mr. Fix-it, which was an ironic name because she said he would break things and then fix them. Calling him rogue, which I promise you will be a word we’ll see again in the defense’s closing. It’s their central theme of their case. So Hope Hicks but the marquee witness this week, and she was a mixed bag. A lot of folks said she was devastating to Trump. I don’t agree. I think there was something for each side in Hope Hicks’ testimony."
