What did Hope Hicks lie about? Newsroom readers have thoughts

Image
“She tells Trump how great he is.” “Does Hicks realize that she is not a contestant on ‘The Bachelor’?” Hope Hicks resigned one day after reports claimed she told “white lies” for President Trump, but it’s unclear what about.

Others think that “anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously … cannot be trusted.” According to reports, Hicks insisted she didn’t lie about the investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
