Hope Hicks to Resign as White House Communications Director
NYT ^ | February 28, 2018 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 02/28/2018 1:54:43 PM PST by Pinkbell

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Trump’s longest-serving advisers, said Wednesday that she was resigning.

Ms. Hicks, 29, a former model who joined Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign without any experience in politics, became known as one of the few aides who understood his personality and style and could challenge the president to change his views.

Ms. Hicks had been considering leaving for several months. She told colleagues that she had accomplished what she felt she could with a job that made her one of the most powerful people in Washington, and that there would never be a perfect moment to leave, according to White House aides.

Her resignation came a day after she testified for eight hours before the House Intelligence Committee, telling the panel that in her job, she had occasionally been required to tell white lies but had never lied about anything connected to the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

She did not say what her next job would be, and her departure date was unclear, but it is likely to be in the next few weeks.

Ms. Hicks said that she had “no words” to express her gratitude to the president, who responded with his own statement.

Why is that every public female figure, particularly in media, has at some point had to appear in a bikini or lingerie?

Smart, intelligent and probably the hottest piece of a** in Washington.

Good luck to her, she has done a wonderful job and at her young age a break will serve her well.

We have not heard the last of Hope

Wow. She is in great shape. Where does she work out? Her abdominal muscles are perfect. I want a membership at her gym.

>>Don’t quite understand why she is leaving. She has been a loyalTrump staff member.

A friend speculates that it's related to her security clearance, but the libs are running with her closed-door testimony to Congress. I think it's about the clearance as well.

See post 24. Apparently I posted a pic of a different woman.

That said, she’s awesome.
