Hope Hicks has been one of Donald Trump’s advisers since the campaign, acting as a one-woman press shop early on in his candidacy. On Tuesday, she was named as White House Communications Director, a job she held on an interim basis after the abrupt departure of Anthony Scaramucci last month.
She had been serving as the director of strategic communications and has been mentioned as one of Trump’s most trusted staffers on a regular basis.
But who is this 28-year-old woman from Greenwich, Connecticut? During the campaign, while she was a spokeswoman, Hicks rarely spoke to reporters, much less appeared on TV.
