By Kyle Schnitzer

Hope Hicks testified that Donald Trump is a "very good multitasker" who ran the Trump Organization like a "family business."

“He’s a very good multitasker. He’s a very hard worker," Hicks said on the stand, adding that he could wear many hats at once.

She said that everyone who works at the Trump Organization reports to Trump.

"It’s a very big and successful company, but it’s run like a family business in certain ways," she testified, adding that Trump's children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — were others who workers reported to.
