Hicks breaks down during hush money trial testimony

Hope Hicks appeared on Friday, May 3, as a witness at Trump’s hush money trial.

The trial is over alleged payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Meanwhile, Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of ‘falsifying business records’ to conceal the payment.

The 35-year-old, who is likely tie the knot this summer, addressed the New York courtroom and said, "I'm really nervous.''

Hicks cried at the witness stand after the end of her testimony after prosecutors called her. She gave a detailed description of her long relationship with the GOP presumptive nominee.

According to CNN, the former Trump aide apparently broke down after testifying about her conversation with the real estate mogul when he revealed his former attorney, Michael Cohen, paid off adult film actress Daniels with $130 000 of his own money.

“The state of her. No morals and not an ounce of common sense or good judgement either,” a user slammed Hicks’ choice.

One person was suspicious of Hicks’ age, “Am I the only person who thinks she looks a lot older than 35?? I think she looks like a very attractive 45-47 year old.”

“Nobody in Trump World is good. She has a chance now that she is free,” another wrote.

"She definitely has a thing for older men. Wonder what the prenuptial looks like," one shared.

A user trolled, "Just the typical purse-for-nurse generation gap marriage. Next."
