Hope Hicks Leaving the White House

White House communications director Hope Hicks will leave the White House in the coming weeks.

Hicks, 29, served as President Trump’s campaign spokesperson before following him to the White House. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the news to the Washington Examiner Wednesday.

Sanders said the decision has “nothing at all whatsoever” to do with Hicks’ testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday. That testimony lasted eight hours as a part of their investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia . . .

Sanders told a group of reporters Wednesday that Hicks “had been thinking about it before” the Porter controversy and said Trump “is not unhappy with her in any way” after Hicks reportedly testified that she told white lies on Trump’s behalf . . .

In an afternoon statement confirming her departure, Hicks said: “There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to President Trump. I wish the President and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country.” (Read more from “Hope Hicks Leaving the White House” HERE)
