Former White House aide Hope Hicks has agreed to testify next Wednesday behind closed doors, the House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday.
The committee plans to release a transcript of the interview afterward.
The scheduled interview with Hicks, a longtime Trump campaign aide and former White House communications director, is the first case where a member of Trump’s inner circle will appear before the committee as part of its investigation into possible obstruction of justice. The first official to be subpoenaed by the panel, former White House counsel Don McGahn, did not appear before the committee last month, prompting a vote in the House this week to go to court to enforce the subpoena.
The Judiciary Committee plans to ask questions about Hicks’ time at the White House and during the campaign, according to two sources, but it remains to be seen whether the White House will assert executive privilege to prevent her from answering about her time at White House. Hicks is expected to address executive privilege issues on a question by question basis, one of the sources said.
“It is important to hear from Ms. Hicks, who was a key witness for the Special Counsel,” Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said in a statement. “Ms. Hicks understands that the Committee will be free to pose questions as it sees fit, including about her time on the Trump Campaign and her time in the White House. Should there be a privilege or other objection regarding any question, we will attempt to resolve any disagreement while reserving our right to take any and all measures in response to unfounded privilege assertions.”
Last week, the White House directed Hicks and former White House deputy counsel Annie Donaldson not to provide any documents to the committee involving their time at the White House, in what could be a sign of how the White House will respond to questions from the committee next week.
The White House cannot claim executive privilege over Hicks’ time in the campaign, so those questions are likely to be fair game without executive privilege issues.
Hicks’ testimony, which was first reported by The Washington Post, comes after she was one of five former White House officials the committee authorized subpoenas for earlier this year.
The subpoenas, which also went to McGahn and Donaldson, were part of the panel’s sweeping investigation into possible obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power, which began with letters requesting documents from 81 individuals and entities.
The five officials who were subpoenaed were all significant figures in the Mueller report, and the Judiciary Committee has sought to highlight the special counsel’s findings with hearings as it mulls whether to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. On Monday, the committee held a hearing with experts, including former Watergate witness John Dean.

Until Wednesday, however, it wasn’t clear whether any of the officials would agree to testify amid the President’s stated intention to fight “all the subpoenas,” although Nadler expressed confidence at Monday’s hearing that his committee would eventually get the witnesses it’s seeking — even if it took going to court to do so.
“It is true that fact witnesses have been ordered by the White House not to appear before this committee, but we’ll get them,” Nadler said.
Following the House vote Tuesday on a resolution to take the McGahn subpoena to court, Nadler pledged to do the same thing with Hicks and Donaldson if they didn’t comply.
But Wednesday’s agreement is the second time this week that the Judiciary panel has struck a deal as part of its probe into Mueller’s findings on obstruction of justice.
On Monday, the Justice Department agreed to begin providing the committee with special counsel documents it’s seeking, including FBI notes of interviews and notes from White House officials. The White House will be able to review the materials for executive privilege issues, however, before the committee gets access to them.
It’s unclear whether Hicks’ agreement will also lead to an appearance for Donaldson, who was a deputy to McGahn. Unlike Hicks, Donaldson did not work on the Trump campaign and only worked in the White House. The committee included a June 24 deadline in her subpoena.
This story has been updated with additional developments Wednesday.

''Hillary Clinton: Tweets Won't Solve Threat From North Korea''

May 2, 2017
Hillary Clinton called North Korea one of the world's “wicked problems” on Tuesday — and took a swipe at President Donald Trump’s tweeting habits at an appearance in New York City.
“Negotiations are critical,” Clinton said of the efforts to achieve peace with the nuclear-armed nation. “But they have to be part of a broader strategy, not just thrown off on a tweet some morning that, ‘Hey, let’s get together, you know, see if we can’t get along and maybe we can, you know, come up with some sort of idea.’ That doesn’t work.”

The president said this week that he would be willing to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and called him a "pretty smart cookie."
Trump also has used social media to ratchet up pressure on both North Korea and China as Pyongyang threatens to conduct another nuclear test.
“North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A,” he tweeted last month.
I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!

The former Democratic presidential candidate frequently knocked Trump for his Twitter use during the bitterly fought 2016 race. And despite having been in office more than 100 days, Trump continues to tout his surprise electoral college victory over Clinton and slam his former rival.
“If he wants to tweet about me I’m happy to be the diversion because we’ve got lots of other things to worry about. And he should worry less about the election, and my winning the popular vote, than doing some other things that would be important to the country,” Clinton said.
At the Women for Women International's gathering, Clinton told journalist Christiane Amanpour she is currently working on a book about her 2016 loss to Trump.

“It is a painful process reliving the campaign, as you might guess,” she said.
Clinton pointed to a number of factors that contributed to her stunning loss, including the role of Russia and FBI Director James Comey's letter announcing a renewed investigation into newly discovered Clinton emails just days ahead of the election that turned out to be duplicates of emails already reviewed. Misogyny also may have been a factor, Clinton acknowledged.
"I'm now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance,” Clinton said, referring to the anti-Trump movement.
At a Planned Parenthood gala celebrating the organization's 100-year anniversary, Clinton noted how far women's rights and access to health care have come in the past century, saying when the organization began women didn't have the right to vote.
"We live in a very different world today, and we are not going back," Clinton said.
She said the advancement of opportunities for women and girls “remains the great unfinished business of the 21st century."
"And some days it seems like it may be even more unfinished than we’d hoped," Clinton said. "Because as we speak, politicians in Washington are still doing everything they can to roll back the rights and progress we have fought so hard for over the last century."
Clinton said that "even as we are witnessing these unprecedented attacks, we are also witnessing an unprecedented outpouring of opposition and grassroots activism."
Trump late Tuesday took a swipe at Clinton on Twitter, writing: “FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!”
FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds! The phony…

Trump's tweet comes a night before Comey is slated to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday in an oversight hearing. It is expected to touch on the investigation into any connection between Russia and Trump associates.
