GOP lawmaker goes down in flames defending Hope Hicks’ ‘white lies’: ‘That shows how honest she was being’

Raw Story  

A New York Republican insisted on MSNBC that Hope Hicks' admission that she sometimes told "white lies" for President Donald Trump enhanced her credibility and showed she has manners. Rep. Peter King was present Tuesday when the House Intelligence Committee questioned Hicks, and he said the White House communications director gave no indication she would resign the following day. "The fact that at the end of the day, to me, it shows how weak the Democratic case was, after nine hours of testimony, attempting to find Russian collusion, all they could get was Hope Hicks being as honest as anyone could be, as anyone should be, when they asked her have you ever told a lie, she said only a white lie," King continued. King again clarified that Hicks was talking about the period before Trump's inauguration, but he told Welker that White House officials had probably lied to him before.
