Former President Donald Trump will have another key witness testifying at his criminal hush money trial: Hope Hicks.
A former White House communications director and Trump aide, Hicks has previously testified before a grand jury investigation about Trump’s alleged 2020 election interference and said she will testify at the Manhattan trial, according to an MSNBC report.
Trump’s trial is slated to begin with jury selection on April 15 and is centered on claims that he allegedly used his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to hide an alleged years-old affair with porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
In addition to Hicks, Cohen and Daniels are scheduled to be star witnesses during the trial, which is expected to last between six and eight weeks and will be held each day except for Wednesdays throughout that period. Trump is slated to be present for the duration of the trial, per courtroom rules for defendants.

Trump last month sought to keep Cohen and Daniels from testifying on the basis that their testimonies could not be considered truthful, but New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan declined that effort.
