At a time when news of the investigation into the alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russian government operatives breaks new bombshells daily, yet another surprise is being reported by The New York Times.

Just one day after testifying in front of the House Intelligence Committee for eight hours of questioning in which she refused to answer questions about any action during her time working in the White House, Hope Hicks is resigning as Trump’s communications director.

‘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.

Hicks did not name a departure date in her statement.
