Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial is entering its third week of testimony. On Friday, Trump’s former top aide Hope Hicks described efforts to do damage control in the weeks prior to the 2016 election following the release of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape where Trump openly bragged about assaulting women. On Thursday, prosecutors played jurors a secret audio tape of Trump and his then-fixer Michael Cohen discussing a plan to pay off former Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep silent about her affair with Trump.
