Hicks out... Maybe she finally finished the party plans?

Hope Hicks to resign from White House

The White House said she would leave 'in the next few weeks.'

By POLITICO STAFF

White House communications director Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump's longest-serving aides, said Wednesday she plans to resign.

"There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to President Trump," Hicks said in a statement provided by the White House, in which she did not say what she planned to do next. "I wish the President and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country."

Her announcement came a day after she declined to answer many questions during an appearance before House Russia investigators. Earlier this month, she also was drawn into the controversy surrounding former staff secretary Rob Porter, who she had been dating and who resigned amid claims of physical and verbal abuse from two ex-wives.

Her date of departure was not immediately clear, but the White House said she would leave "in the next few weeks."

"Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years," Trump said in a statement. "I will miss having her by my side, but when she approached me about pursuing other opportunities, I totally understood."
