President Trump’s inner circle praised White House communications director Hope Hicks for her service in the administration and wished her well with future endeavors as news of her resignation broke on Wednesday.

Hicks became one of the longest serving officials in the Trump administration, starting off as his campaign spokesperson and then following him to the White House, where she eventually served as communications director. As one of the president’s closest advisors, her departure comes as a huge blow to those in Trump’s inner circle.
