White House Communications Director Hope Hicks said Wednesday that she is resigning, becoming the third person to leave the post during Trump¹'s tenure².

 

白宫新闻主任霍普·希克斯周三表示她将辞职，这是特朗普任期以来第三任离开这个职位的官员。
 

 

"There are no words to adequately express my gratitude³ to President Trump. I wish the President and his administration the very best as he continues to lead our country," Hicks said in a statement.

 

The announcement came one day after Hicks testified in front of Congress on Russia's alleged⁴ interference with the 2016 presidential elections, during which she said she had told "white lies" while working for the administration.

 

As Hicks announced her departure, U.S. President Donald Trump and other senior White House officials showered her with praises.

 

"Hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years. She is as smart and thoughtful as they come, a truly great person. I will miss having her by my side but when she approached me about pursuing other opportunities, I totally understood. I am sure we will work together again in the future," Trump said in a statement.
