Hope Hicks resigns from White House

Hope Hicks on Wednesday resigned from her post as White House communications director.

"There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to President Trump," she said in a statement. "I wish the president and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country."

The New York Times first reported that Hicks told colleagues she had been considering resigning for months, and made her announcement internally on Wednesday.

President Trump said that Hicks is "a truly great person."

“Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years,” the president said. “She is as smart and thoughtful as they come, a truly great person. I will miss having her by my side but when she approached me about pursuing other opportunities, I totally understood. I am sure we will work together again in the future.”

Hicks' resignation comes the day after she testified to the House Intelligence Committee as part of their investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, during which she reportedly admitted that her job in the Trump administration required her to tell "white lies."
