https://politicalwire.com/2018/02/28/hope-hicks-resigning/White House communications director Hope Hicks said that she was resigning, the New York Times reports.
Ms. Hicks, 29, a former model who joined Mr. Trumps 2016 presidential campaign without any experience in politics, became known as one of the few aides who understood his personality and style and could challenge the president to change his views.
She told colleagues that she had accomplished what she felt she could with a job that made her one of the most powerful people in Washington, and that there would never be a perfect moment to leave She did not say what her next job would be, and it was unclear what the departure date is, although it is likely to be in the next few weeks.

Everybody understands Trump's personality, Hope.
He's a dick.

He tweets his inner and outer thoughts out to the world at every opportunity. He's a vain, shallow, greedy, and stupid man.

In Fire and Fury, Wolff includes this passage:
You dont know what youre doing, shouted a livid Bannon at Hicks, demanding to know who she worked for, the White House or Jared [Kushner] and Ivanka. You dont know how much trouble you are in, he screamed, telling her that if she didnt get a lawyer he would call her father and tell him he had better get her one. You are dumb as a stone!

....I'm betting the Mueller team laid out some compelling information of where Trump will be heading. She may not be talking, but she had no choice but to listen to their 9 hours worth of collected info...at least the info they felt she needed to hear. Next day she resigns.
