Hope Hicks: Close Trump aide and White House communications chief resigns

 Hope Hicks

  Hope Hicks, one of President Trump's longest-serving advisers, is to step down as White House communications director. The 29-year-old former model has been by Mr Trump's side for years.
The news came a day after she testified in front of the House Intelligence Committee, but White House sources said this was not the reason.

She is the fourth person to serve as communications chief for this administration. On Tuesday, Ms Hicks gave a nine-hour testimony in front of the panel investigating alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Ms Hicks is reported to have admitted to the panel that she had occasionally told what amounted to "white lies" for President Trump, but she denied lying about anything relevant to the investigation.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders - who described Ms Hicks as "in a league of her own" - said it remained unclear when she would leave the administration.
