Hope Hicks is resigning as White House communications director, The New York Times reported. Hicks is a long-serving aide to President Donald Trump, from before his days as a candidate, and her resignation comes a day after testifying before the House Intelligence Committee over its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The report also quoted Trump as saying "Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years." Hicks said she had "no words" to express her gratitude to the president.
