In this Feb. 27 2018 photo, White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, one of President Trump's closest aides and advisers, arrives to meet behind closed doors with the House Intelligence Committee, at the Capitol in Washington. Hicks is resigning. In a statement, the president praises Hicks for her work over the past three years and says he "will miss having her by my side." The news comes a day after Hicks was interviewed for nine hours by the panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and contact between Trump's campaign and Russia. (AP Photo/J.
