Former White House communications director Hope Hicks told lawmakers that she had "never been asked to lie about matters of substance or consequence," contending that "white lies" she had told on behalf of President Donald Trump were about small matters, such as his availability.
The comments are part of the 273-page transcript of Hicks' closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee, a document that revealed behind-the-scenes details of Trump's presidential campaign as well as her relationship to the now-commander in chief.
According to Democrats on the committee, attorneys from the Trump administration blocked Hicks from answering 155 questions.

LOCK HER UP…
obstruction of justice…
@reknown123 The hush money payment is completely normal and people do it literally all the time. Also, anything to say about Michael Cohen lying under oath? No?
The Department of Justice is working on that right now. Inspector Horowitz’s investigation report is due out after the 4th of July holiday.
The Obstruction of Justice is Overwhelming and Crooked Hillary Clinton will be indicted and they will LOCK HER UP!
Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.
John Preston if she answers the questions the truth would come put. That’s why they don’t want her to answer questions. No transparency.innocent people don’t do this.
John Preston she used 6 lawyers yet did not answer any questions. Trump should have testified instead of answering his questions from the special counsel in writing through lawyers. Everyone knows he is too stupid to stay on track and would have had diarrhea of the mouth and told on himself.
No reason to block anyone from answering questions if they have nothing to hide
@Johnf275 how about those links to your claims now?
@motown 313 Yeah, he broke the law. Not the President. The FEC Chairmen have already stated that Trump is in the clear dumbass.
@Alexander Cartier Wrong again dumbass. Each and everyone of those charges have been dismissed by the AG, Deputy AG, and the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel.
You might need to get some mental help for that TDS
END the Trump Crime Family Syndicate!
Put them ALL in Prison!
@Rapist Trump ODA 595 Democrats will pay for Reparations. You will pay for your past crimes.
Make Racists Afraid Again – sorry pothead, just because someone hurt your feelz isn’t grounds for incarceration. Go have another bong hit and drink your soy, don’t be so triggered lil guy.
Execute all MS13 members publicly, and without trial.
@Gas & Diesel Reparation? For what? Who was a slave? Who today has benefited from slavery? Why aren’t the Chinese crying? Or um the Irish? This is complete and utter b.s. and was democrats use to keep down an entire race of ppl making them think they need the democrats and can’t stand on their own 2 feet. You dems are the party of the kkk and you are also the Nazi’s yes the Nazi’s were socialists. Fkn dope heads!
@Mister Morgan Ditto to Trump’s…. corruption will quickly die
“Didn’t learn about that…” Riiiiight.
chump is and always will be THE WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.
The Democrat Party is the world’s most successful hate group. It attracts poor people who hate rich people, black people who hate white people, gay people who hate straight people, feminists who hate men, environmentalists who hate the internal combustion engine, and a lot of bratty college kids who hate their parents. However, the real secret of the party’s success is that it attracts the support of journalists who hate republicans, and who therefore work tirelessly to convince the rest of us that we should vote for Democrats.
Tom Jones wrong, employment, ft index, trade ALL UP SUCKER
Jay Pay you are naive Mr Trump is doing a brilliant job for the country, what about the investigators that are about to show you lefties all the illegal things that have been done by previous administrations. Check it out

@Ken Bugbee yes the Fence Maintenance continues
Hope told many ” sweet little lies ” protected the Maga Man who would sell her out in a second. She is a part of the swamp.
@Toxic Masculinity What does my tax returns got to do with this conversation?I’m sure president Trump would love to show you his if your so worried about Americans paying taxes?Regardless if you pay in taxes are not everyone that lives in the United States pay taxes on everything that you buy in stores?Let’s see what else..food,electricity,water,internet,garbage,car insurance,taxes from city and house?So yeah don’t worry everyone will still pay some form of tax when living in the United States.
@Crimdor what about the 155 unanswered questions?
@CAPCOM784
I just bet you’re a huge don lemon fan. Go ahead, don’t be ashamed, admit it.
@Toxic Masculinity Do not know who Don Lemon is?My statement is dead on about everyone paying taxes even if not legal in the United States.I do believe if you are working that yes taxes should be paid in.
@CAPCOM784
What does all that drivel have to do with you being a don lemon brainwashed dolt.
So the DoJ sent more lawyers to Hicks’ interview than when the AG was subpoenaed?
@ryvr madduck – Non-disclosure agreement working for the president? You’re joking, right? People who work in the White House work for the American people. The United States is not Donald Trump’s personal business. Government employees are there to serve the public and their salaries come from with our taxes. Trump doesn’t seem to understand this. What bothers me is he’s actually getting away with this crap.
@DroidMod – ??? Democrats have the majority in the House, not the Senate.
ryvr madduck Clinton was impeached for that moron.
Impeached but not convicted. Trump will get neither and a second term.
@Lotta Sunshine The house is called congress, what are you talking about ?
a communication director who has trouble communicating😂😂😂
@davids11131113 Aww! Sadboys not smart enough to come up with an actual response so he has to act like a child in front of everybody… Unfortunately he’s also too stupid to realize how childishly idiotic he looks to everybody.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@James Murphy
Maybe she took some advice from James Comey, Comey said, I don’t recall, I can’t remember or I don’t know 245 times, what was you saying about the rule of law or accountability
@Cropper Copper , anybody still voting for Trump; that is proof of their ignorance or mobster mentality like him. Corral and lock them all up and finally make America uncorrupted.
Calvary of attorneys eh? Over 150 questions refused to answer? Man i just cant see where the suspicion comes from…
page 1 and 2, Introduction to Volume 1 of the Mueller Report, “As set forth in detail in this report, the Special Counsel’s investigation established that Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election principally through two operations. First, a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Second, a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen documents. The investigation also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign. Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”
@HarleyHilderson In a secure room members of Congress are allowed to read the full unredacted report, But I bet CNN didn’t inform you of that fact, ONCE AGAIN.
For a guy that claims there’s nothing to see, he sure is covering up a whole lot.
@Lotta Sunshine I thought they had accidentally shown one of his 2016 rallies… Trump acts like he’s running against Hillary again…he’s got no new material. Just lies and old news, most of which are lies, too. It’s bizarre.
Yeah it is nice to see comments on here that don’t defend this terrible man that became our president sadly.
@Kyuss Qotsa what about fox news. It is being sued because ppl don’t source the stories on there. I think your side is worse than the dem side honestly.
@Gabby C it is like real humans vs bots.
Don`t try to argue with a bot, instead show him Captcha.
Why even have these hearings? People lie or refuse to answer questions and there is no penalty for it. What a joke.
Because it IS obstruction of justice by the criminal Trump.
when the time comes, prepare popcorn ! just saying ^_^
People do lie, what comes to my memory, is Comey, he said, I don’t recall, can’t remember, don’t know, 245 times
Is Fifer McGee and Alexander the Great an old married couple? That exchange was hilarious.
Prohibited from answering 155 times by Trump’s Lawyers.
Nothing to hide? 😆
@mtb416 That there was indeed Russian interference and for whatever reason Trump obstructed the investigation many times. So you have just a few anserws to the equation. One…Trump’s crooked as a sideways vagina. Two… He is completely incompetent.
It was her choice to not answer. She needs to be held in contempt, put before a Judge and ordered to answer questions related to her previous testimony under oath, and if she continues to refuse to answer, sent to prison.
The investigation is over !
Legal counsel can indeed ask you to commit a crime,but it is up to you to do it and on your head if you do as they request
@Cropper Copper It’s not his job to clear , its his job to prosecute and there was nothing to prosecute. We are innocent till proven guilty not the other way around.
I’ve never heard of an “innocent” man working so hard to keep the evidence of his innocence hidden.
Earnest Lee Saddened It’s really very sad when if you just read things such as the Mueller report, you could learn so much
Same as for the Hope Hicks transcripts…yes she didn’t answer 155 questions but that was for her Time in the White House…she did answer questions about before the White House and after she left the White House…. like when they asked her if, in Trump’s interview with Stephanopoulos, she thought that as he said…he would take foreign help in the election…she said yes he would…he was not kidding!
As far as Russian sanctions, he attempted to release the sanctions as soon as he got into office and was “stopped” by legislation from the Senate because it panicked then.
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-white-house-secret-efforts-lift-russia-sanctions-putin-619508
Every other sanction put on he was forced by the Senate..the only thing they have seemed to hold him accountable for …and then even after reluctantly signing it took him months to enforce…
Even the lastest sanctions he tried to released in two aluminum companies that Oleg Deripaska, Putin’s associate and the man Manafort owes $19 million to, while The Senate was in recess. The Senate reluctantly approved the release in the condition that they claim it was hurting the world economy and that Derpipaska would divest his ownership.. and oh, by the way, that aluminum company of all the places in this world .is building a new plant in Mitch M Connell’s Home town. Just because he says he’s hard on Russia, don’t believe him just Google and see for yourself. He would never upset Putin.

@Earnest Lee Saddened Like I said have fun with the Fox crap…the investigation was:
The Special Counsel investigation was an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and suspicious links between Trump associates and Russian officials, conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller
Well guess what? It
found Russian interference and mfers are sitting in jail associated with Trump…….but only u and the rest of the Trump nitwits can say a innocent man is interfering because he doesn’t want the proof showing his innocence out there….ummm yeah ok. For the first time in history folks a dude with proof that he is innocent wants to hide that proof lol
Hillary talking point lame…u gave two fucks with Bush and his missing emails or sending us into a war based on false info…but it doesnt fit ur garbage “collusion” or “lock her up” chant
@calabis Say it dimwit, NO COLLUSION!!! NO OBSTRUCTION!!! CASE COSED!!! Proof he was innocent? Nobody has to prove he is innocent. Stop shoveling s##t. And the rest of that comment is BS too. America needs to know if Killary passed out or LOST confidential e-mails. Trumps friends were imprisoned for decades old PROCESS CRIMES that STILL had nothing to do with Russia. But Barr will prove that the witch hunt was SEDITION!!!!! KAG2020!!!!
*Innocent people don’t behave this way — guilty people do.*
Earnest Lee Saddened okay Trump mouthpiece…
You care nothing for the constitution or rule of law.
@Dearly Diane Prostitutes usually don’t get interrogated, that’s why Tess doesn’t know that there are times you keep your mouth shut, or why you would.
@James Murphy Oh, someone catch me, I’m stunned by the triggering of the comment. Oh, wait, that’s me nodding off, never mind.
The asshats that can’t stop harassing Trump’s people are the ones that spit on the rule of law. The Dramacrats are 0 for 4 on the collusion delusion. The obstruction BS is patent “drag it out” harassment, and Mueller is scared to face sworn testimony against Republicans. He knew the witch hunt was a scam a year before the midterms or more. But he persecuted Trump via the MSM and the DOJ/FBI liars and leakers on the daily TRAITOR and HITLER tea parties. They used the witch hunt to affect the midterms too. It’s all going to be uncovered It’s SEDITION!!! Better get used to the idea and STFU with your pompous BS accusations. KAG2020.
@Earnest Lee Saddened LOL.. right, kid. We sure are hurting here in California… the wealthiest state with the most political power in America. Now tell us where YOU live. We could use a good laugh.
@Tessmage Tessera Wealthiest state proving socialism SUCKS!!! How many THOUSANDS of Street people are there? How’s the EXODUS? Money is moving out while the Black Plague moves IN? That’s GREAT!!!!! Wealthiest 1% wading through homeless JUNKIES and POOPSTREETS!!! Oh yeah!!!! I’m having a GREAT LAUGH!!!! BullS##T TRAIN to NOWHERE TOO!!!! RECALL your STATEHOOD!!!! Be proud!!!
I’m living in another s##thole Dramacrat sanctuary city. Another socialist dump where illegal aliens are getting more love than citizens!!! Soon to be a NO Dramacrat politician state. KAG2020!!!!!
Always fun chatting you up Tessy.
LOCK THEM ALL UP
This is not an administration it’s a PUTIN installed criminal Enterprise
Impeach the mother fker asap America before he fks it all up
@cj p You do know what a question mark means, don’t you ? I didn’t call him a nazi, I asked if he is one… I note there has been no reply
@Stuart WARD oh my bad. You asked if he was a Nazi…he didn’t reply so he must be one..
Thats exactly why even anti establishment liberals won’t follow you down the CNN rabbit hole. You’re too busy inventing this super villain that is pure evil incarnate and wants to burn the planet to a crisp.
Sorry, go back to what you were doing… imagining these Trump associates who have only known him for 2 years are suddenly so devoted… they will risk their career, freedom, and reputation to help him with his evil criminal enterprise hell bent on world domination.
@cj p So, you’re ( you are…) a fan of Trump, or was your diatribe sarcasm ?
Also, I await the reply with baited breath… I guess I might find out in the fullness of time. Assumptions are always pointless
Sheik Yo Booty – ROTFL it’s hilarious how triggered you commies get when asked to back your statements up with proof. And here you are with more baseless claims and regurgitating alt-left propaganda. I’m not even a trump supporter you dumbass NPC.
Speaking of sexual predators, last I checked it was the leftist cult who made ‘drag queen story time’ a thing in the public schools where they bring trannies into the classrooms of little kids. Now go drink your soy.
Stuart WARD – typical triggered leftist, ad hominem attacks, still zero proof to back their position. All you NPCs are capable of is regurgitating CNN FAKE NEWS alt-left propaganda.
The US Department of Justice has essentially become Trump’s personal law office.
Yeah Obama never used the Justice Department as his personal law office to spy on Trump, attack conservative groups via the IRS, or get Hillary cleared of her crimes so she could be president and cover for Obama’s crimes when she was in office.
@ryvr madduck well you basicslly beat me to it. These libtard idiots don’t know anything. They comment from ignorance.
How does someone who hasn’t been connected to the machine suddenly walk in and has undying loyalty from so many he’s probably never met?
@ryvr madduck Exactly, Donald Trump is just as criminal as Obama. Thanks for agreeing with me that Donald Trump is a criminal just like Obama was a criminal.
These hearings need to be public not closed door!!
Craig Crawford It’s a troll working for Trump, they’re not even in the US.
cj p That’s why there’s transcripts, idiot.
@Doctor Jodie They should still be replied too and told they are wrong with the facts and not let them speak and run, imho…
@Doctor Jodie They work overtime on Fox channels, literally…
I knew they should have asked “Who are you wearing?”.
155 Qs unanswered? Was it then a pointless exercise???
Benghazi!
Bath-House Barry went golfing, Shitlary Bleach-Btted 33k emails!
Move along people……..nothing to see here.
