WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House Judiciary Committee on Thursday released a transcript of its closed-door interview with Hope Hicks, a former close aide to President Donald Trump who refused to answer lawmakers' questions about her 14-month tenure at the White House.
Democrats who lead the panel said lawyers from the White House and Justice Department blocked the 30-year-old public relations consultant from answering questions 155 times.
