Hope Hicks to resign as White House

 Before Wednesday’s announcement, Hicks had not been happy for some time, according to two people with knowledge of her thinking who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. One person said Hicks had been increasingly feeling the stress of the position, especially in the wake of revelations about her relationship with former Staff Secretary Rob Porter. Since then, Hicks has been hounded by paparazzi, who have at times staked out her apartment building.
