Hope Hicks Named White House Communications Director
----------------------------------------------------

The White House has named Hope Hicks, a 28-year-old longtime adviser to
Donald Trump, as the administration's communications director. Hicks
formerly served as Trump's director of strategic communications, where
she was known for a hands-off approach on allowing the president free
rein to use Twitter and other social media. Hicks is the fourth person
to hold the position, replacing Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted just 10
days on the job.
