Former White House communications director Hope Hicks is expected to testify before the House Committee on Jan. 6 on Tuesday.
CNN reported: that Hicks, 34, was previously seated for an “informal” panel interview, but the formal will take place sometime today, just days after Trump received a formal subpoena.
So far, she has gone undetected by Capitol Hill reporters.
A number of books on Trumpworld have portrayed Hicks as one of the members of the ex-president’s inner circle who informed him that he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
“Listen, sir, I’m sorry,” she told him. “You can’t win it back. There’s no way you can win,” Hick told Trump on Nov. 9, the Monday after the election, according to the book. I alone can fix it.

A number of books on Trumpworld show Hope Hicks (left) telling former President Donald Trump (right) – seen together in church in Las Vegas in October 2020 – that he had lost the election.
The major networks called out the race for Biden two days earlier.
The authors, Carol D. Loennig and Philip Rucker, reported that Trump pushed back with, “People tell me about all the evidence.”
Hicks stepped down from her White House position just days before Biden’s inauguration, though she said it was not in protest at the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which led to a mass resignation.
Hicks was a fixture in Trumpworld even before Trump won the White House.
A former model, she worked under Ivanka Trump at the Trump Organization before serving as press secretary for the 2016 campaign.
She was then taken to the White House after Trump was sworn in as Director of Strategic Communications in 2017.
Following Anthony Scaramucci’s brief but memorable stint as communications director, Hicks was appointed acting communications director and then promoted to a full-time position in September 2017 – making her the youngest person ever to fill the role.
Hicks left the White House for two years to work at Fox Corporation, but returned as an adviser to the president when Trump ran for reelection in 2020.
Despite the fact that the electoral fraud claims were false, Hicks seemingly remains in Trump’s favor.
She was reportedly spotted in Mar-a-Lago in April with the ex-president from The Washington Post.
‘We love Hope!’ the ex-president is quoted as saying.
Hicks had urged Trump to back Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick, whom she advised.
Trump decided to go with the more prominent name and backed television personality, Dr. Mehmet Oz, to compete in the crucial race.
