express hope

[hhtt21]

"We will always be open and helpful,’ he said, expressing hope that the Attorney General's Office would not interfere in the matter.

Would you please explain the part "expressing hope that ..."? It is confusing for me because it doesn't make sense to me.

He is stating that he hopes the Attorney General's Office will not interfere.

Expressing hope​ = "stating that one hopes".

When the expressing process is in form of a stating process, is stating process made clearly or by implication?

Subqueston: Is implication a correct word for going from "imply" to its noun form?

I don't understand the first question. The answer to the second question is "yes".

Please don't write Thank you at the end of your posts. It takes some extra effort to remove it from quotes, and it's in your signature line anyway.

I don't understand the first question.

Are they expressed their hopes clearly or by implication or in other way implicitly or explicity or in other way directly or indirectly?

The writer believes the speaker was explicitly expressing the hope described.

How could it be? Would you please demonstrate it?

For example:We will do everything O.K so we hope the attorney will not interfere in.

I don't think he's really stating hope as much as simply expressing his hopefulness indirectly.

It's a not a very clear example.
