Hope Hicks broke down on the witness stand today after testifying about a conversation she had with Donald Trump, in which Trump told her that Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels to keep the bad story out of the press and that Cohen paid with his own money out of the goodness of his heart.
When asked if she believed that, Hicks said that she didn't because she felt there was no chance Cohen would spend that much of his own money just to help out Trump. Hicks then began to cry on the stand and the judge took a break.
Hicks broke down likely knowing that her testimony is a significant blow to Donald Trump's defense during this trial, in which his team has argued that Trump was not aware of the payments made by Cohen.
According to a MeidasTouch source in the courtroom during this stunning exchange, this was "the closest thing to a Perry Mason moment there is in a white collar case!"
Our source added, "She just sunk him and realizes it."
