One of President Donald Trump’s closest personal aides throughout the 2016 election campaign and into his presidency is expected to appear before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday morning.
During a closed-door interview, White House Communications Director Hope Hicks will face questions in its probe examining whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski have both refused to answer questions before the committee, according to Schiff.
During the 2016 campaign, Hicks served as Trump’s campaign press secretary.
Corallo reportedly told three colleagues at the time that Hicks said the emails setting up the meeting “Will never get out.” A lawyer for Hicks, Robert Trout, told the Times the suggestion “That emails or other documents would be concealed or destroyed is completely false.”
The committee is expected to ask Hicks about the conversation and answer questions about what she saw during the Trump campaign and transition period w she served as national press secretary.
