White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump's most loyal aides, is resigning.
- Hope Hicks was interviewed 9 hours by panel on Tuesday
- She acknowledged 'white lies' but says no lies about Russia investigation
The Associated Press, citing sources, reported the news Wednesday afternoon.
The news comes a day after Hicks was interviewed for nine hours by the panel investigating Russia interference in the 2016 election and contact between Trump's campaign and Russia.
She acknowledged to a House intelligence panel that she has occasionally told "white lies" for Trump. But she said she had not lied about anything relevant to the Russia investigation.
Hicks served as Trump's one-woman communications shop during his winning campaign. She was made interim White House communications director in August and was appointed permanently to the post in mid-September.
