Hope Hicks reveals one of her email accounts was hacked

Source tells Fox News that the former White House communications director told the House Intelligence Committee that the compromised email address was one that she had since college and is not associated with Trump or the White House.

Former White House communications director Hope Hicks informed the House Intelligence Committee that one of her email accounts had been hacked, according to an intelligence source.

Fox News has learned the one of Hicks’ old email accounts that she had since college had been hacked -- not her Trump or White House email addresses, according to the source.

Hicks, one of President Donald Trump’s longest and most loyal advisers, announced her resignation last week just one day after she spoke to a House intelligence panel.

Hicks reportedly told the panel that she occasionally told “white lies” for Trump but never lied in regards to anything related to the Russian investigation.

The Special Counsel also paid particular attention to Hicks over her involvement in drafting a statement regarding a meeting between Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and a Russian lawyer.
