Conservative lawyer says the 'jury is never going to forget' latest 'hammer blow' to Trump

Hope Hicks' breakdown in court during her testimony at former President Donald Trump's historic criminal hush money trial in New York left an indelible impression on the jury.

Conservative lawyer and outspoken Trump critic George Conway discussed what he believes to be perhaps the most searing moment so far at trial. And one that the jury won't be able to shake when they are tasked with rendering a verdict.

It was Hope Hicks, one of Trump's trusted confidantes, who was a reluctant witness and called there by subpoena, telling the truth and breaking down to a sob in court.

"She did not want to be there," Conway told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room." "She did not want to deliver this devastating hammer blow."

And Hicks' hesitance Conway noted "adds to her credibility."

Hicks withered emotionally while speaking under oath on the witness stand Friday moments after confirming that Trump's 2016 campaign and White House purposely tried to prevent alleged affairs with women in an effort to notch victory in the election.

Regarding alleged affair stories, Hicks testified that Trump had told her that “it was better to be dealing with it now, and it would have been bad to have that story come out before the election.”

Conway painted her breaking into tears almost immediately afterward as being akin to a "Law & Order" episode where a politician such as Trump is in the court as he was and, "You have this witness who was so close and so loyal and so beloved in that family — the Trump family crying on the stand."

The emotions overcoming her while answering truthfully, Conway said, could be "evidence that could put her former boss in state prison in New York."

It won't be easy to discount.

"I mean, it's just it's it's an incredibly dramatic moment," said Conway. "The jury is never going to forget and the jury is going to believe every word that she said."
