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.

Iirc, the administration line is that Mr. Porter did nothing wrong.
Agree on McMaster, but Sessions is doing his job—while taking the public heat for not doing it, too!
In her Congressional testimony, did she ever specify what little “white liees” she told?
Often “white lies” are merely exaggerations.

She seemed full of herself.
All women that look like she does are full of themselves. The world is their oyster.
Never heard the MSM call the claims by zero, rice and godzillary (about Benghazi being caused by a video) even a “white lie”, when it was actually a humongous planned lie on the eve of an election.
She’s been with Trump for 3 years, it’s time to move on and cash in
Yep. Hopefully she replaces Shemp at Fox.
I believe that's Mr. Porter's line too. A couple of ex-wives say otherwise.
One bucket for money.
One bucket for crap.
When one bucket gets full.
You go home.
8 hours of grilling by a gang of congressional fools would fill my crap bucket plum to the top. I have my limits too.
There is no way she would have gotten her job if she didn’t look like that.
Trump surrounds himself with beauty, marries beauty, fathers beauty. Hicks was a little too much beauty. Very high maintenance hair.
Possibly she was asked if she ever lied for the president and in total honesty said yes. May be as simple as the president is out when he was really in the John.
Perhaps Ms. Hicks will be wise enough to avoid disaster.
Porter, not Palmer
‘Addicted to Love’ was the song by Robert Palmer, not Rob Porter.
Agree
“All women that look like she does are full of themselves. The world is their oyster.”
She is smart and accomplished also.
Yeah. It’s not like she doesn’t have a reason.
Still, when she wore that tuxedo it was clear it was all about her.
This isn’t news. I heard back in December or early January that she was planning to leave in the spring.
Only reason it’s relevant today is because she testified yesterday — and it’s good gossip.
I’m sorry but sessions is doing his “job”?
Hillary, obama, holder, lynch, etc, etc are still walking free.
No, you want a session with her photo retoucher.
