House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Friday he meant no harm when he called former White House official Hope Hicks by the wrong name during her Capitol Hill testimony this week.
One day after it was reported that Nadler referred to Hicks, who led the White House communications shop during the Trump administration until March 2018, as "Ms. Lewandowski," Nadler tried to explain himself.
"I just screwed it up," he told CNN. "I was asking a series of questions about Corey Lewandowski — so that was on my mind. People were whispering in my ear. Two different counsels talking to me, and I just screwed it up. There's no reason to do that, obviously."
Lewandowski was President Donald Trump's campaign manager from the start of the campaign in the summer of 2015 until June 2016, shortly before the Republican National Convention. What made Nadler's apparent slip of the tongue newsworthy was that Hicks was romantically linked to Lewandowski during the campaign.
