During her testimony, Hope Hicks revealed that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen attempted to involve himself in the 2016 presidential campaign despite not having an official role. Hicks stated that Cohen was not part of the campaign's day-to-day strategy discussions and would often act independently, causing frustration within the team.
Describing himself as a 'fixer' or 'Mr. Fix It,' Cohen reportedly took unauthorized actions and then attempted to resolve the issues he created. Hicks highlighted that Cohen's tendency to go 'rogue' disrupted the campaign's operations and was not aligned with the team's objectives.
According to Hicks, Cohen's unauthorized involvement in campaign matters was a source of tension, as he was not authorized to make decisions on behalf of the campaign. Despite not being officially part of the team, Cohen's actions had an impact on the campaign's operations and required additional effort to address.
