Trump aide Hope Hicks texted ‘we look like domestic terrorists’ on January 6
Text exchange between then communications chief and fellow White House aide reportedly reveals exasperation at Capitol riot
Hope Hicks, a former key ally of Donald Trump, texted another White House aide “we all look like domestic terrorists now” as the then president’s supporters overran the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
The fear was expressed in a message sent by Trump’s former communications director to Julie Radford, chief of staff to his daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka Trump, on the afternoon of the deadly Capitol riot.
