Hicks acknowledges white lies, but won't talk White House in testimony

(CNN)During closed-door testimony that stretched roughly nine hours Tuesday, White House communications director Hope Hicks was pressed about whether she had ever lied for President Donald Trump -- and acknowledged she has had to tell what amounted to white lies, according to a source with direct knowledge of her testimony.

But Hicks argued that she hasn't had to lie about substantive issues for Trump, the source said.

Hicks, however, would not answer questions about her time in the White House during her House Intelligence Committee testimony as part of the panel's Russia investigation, though she did answer some questions about the presidential transition, according to lawmakers on the committee.
