Hope Hicks, one of Donald Trump’s closest sides is meeting with the January 6 select committee today, NBC News reports. She had a number of roles in the Trump campaign and White House, leaving the administration a week after the Capitol riot.

Mr. Trump was officially subpoenaed by the January 6 select committee last week. He has been asked to sit for one or more days of deposition testimony around November 14.

Meanwhile, Mr. Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, faces a criminal trial in New York that began on Monday. It centers around allegations that it helped executives avoid income taxes on their compensation. The trial is part of the same case that has ensnared the organization’s CFO, longtime Trump associate Allen Weisselberg.

Mr Trump has railed against the trial on his Truth Social platform, calling it a highly partisan Democrat Witch Hunt against him. The former president has also hit out at journalist Bob Woodward saying he had no right to release recordings of their conversations together during his presidency, now collated in an audio book.
