Hicks to be White House Communications Director

Hope Hicks will be named the new White House communications director, the Daily Caller reports.

“President Trump has offered the job to Hicks and she has accepted the position, according to a White House insider. Hicks has been close by Trump’s side since the early days of the campaign and is one of his most trusted staffers. She has been serving on the press team in more of a behind-the-scenes role as the director of strategic communications.”

Jonathan Swan: “A lot of people think she is the only one who can do the job, and it shouldn’t be ruled out that Hicks, who didn’t actively seek the job, could last in the position on a more permanent basis.”
