Hope Hicks: Outgoing White House communications director 'refused to testify on whole areas' to intelligence committee

The outgoing White House communications director Hope Hicks was said to have been evasive during her long interview with the House Intelligence Committee, the same interview during which she said she occasionally told “white lies” on behalf of President Donald Trump.

The ranking Democrat on the panel, Representative Adam Schiff, said Ms Hicks wouldn’t answer “whole areas” of questions while being interviewed.

Ms Hicks’ marathon nine-hour interview occurred on Tuesday, a day before it was announced that the 29-year-old was resigning from her post at the White House.

The resignation shocked many given that Ms Hicks had been Mr Trump’s longest-serving aide and seemed to be untouchable.

She worked with him before he announced he was running for President, through the campaign and into the second year of his administration. The White House said she approached the President and told him she wanted to leave so she could start exploring other opportunities.
