Hope Hicks Resigning as White House Communications Director
One of Trump’s longest serving advisors.
The New York Times has reported that White House Communications Director Hope Hicks has decided to resign:
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.

… and could challenge the president to change his views.
Well, of course. Because there’s no other possible reason to work for somebody. I’m sure all the people Pinch has working for him were hired solely so they could change his views. And it’s worked out so well.
