Hope Hicks will leave her post at the White House next week.
Bloomberg News reported that the 32-year-old top aide of President Donald Trump has told colleagues that her departure, just a week before the end of Trump’s term, is not in protest of the president’s handling of Wednesday’s riot on Capitol Hill.
Hicks, who was Trump’s original campaign press secretary before becoming the country’s youngest White House Communications Director, only to leave the West Wing and come back, was one of the few ‘Trump whisperers’ left.
Hope Hicks will leave her post at the White House next week, Bloomberg News reported. The move is not in protest to President Donald Trump’s handling of Wednesday Capitol Hill riot
NBC News reported that Hicks had planned to leave prior to inauguration since Trump was defeated in November.
And her end-date had been decided on prior to this week.
With Hicks out, that leaves Ivanka Trump and only a few other close aides steering the White House during the president’s last week.
While it’s normal that some administration figures depart early during an administration change-over, Trump’s incitement of the Capitol Hill siege on Wednesday hollowed out the corridors of power more quickly.
He promptly lost two cabinet secretarties: Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secetary Betsy DeVos.
The White House social secretary, Rickie Niceta is gone, as is Stephanie Grisham, first lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff and an ex-press secretary.
Mick Mulvaney, a former White House chief of staff and OMB director who was the special envoy for Northern Ireland, also resigned in protest.
Reports out of the White House suggest it’s currently a miserable place to work.
