Hope Hicks, Trump's communication director, will depart White House

WASHINGTON — Hope Hicks, the White House official most responsible for guarding President Trump’s public image, will leave the White House, officials said Wednesday.

Hicks, 29, was the fourth White House communications director of the Trump White House, and the longest serving — following the often chaotic tenures of Sean Spicer, Michael Dubke and Anthony Scaramucci. She has worked for Trump inside and outside of the White House longer than any other senior administration official. 

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the resignation will take effect in the coming weeks or months.

“There is no definitive timeline,” Sanders said. Her resignation was first reported by the New York Times.

The announcement comes the day after Hicks declined to answer questions from a House committee investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian agents during the 2016 presidential election.
