A former spokesman for President Trump’s legal team is expected to testify to special counsel Robert Mueller that White House communications director Hope Hicks may have planned to obstruct justice, The New York Times reported Wednesday night.
Mark Corallo, who resigned last summer, will reportedly tell Mueller about a previously undisclosed phone call between Trump and Hicks that took place after Donald Trump Jr. and others met with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in 2016.
Corallo plans to tell Mueller and his team that Hicks said during the call that emails from Trump Jr. about the meeting “will never get out,” prompting concerns that she may be considering obstructing justice, The New York Times reported.
A lawyer for Hicks issued a denial to the newspaper.
“She never said that. And the idea that Hope Hicks ever suggested that emails or other documents would be concealed or destroyed is completely false,” Robert Trout told the Times in a statement.
