The senior advisor reportedly listed Tuesday as her last day in the White House, a day before the riots at the Capitol. Within the past few weeks, Hicks allegedly did not agree with President Trump’s claims of voter fraud and planned to leave after he lost the election to Joe Biden. This is the second time she left the White House amid an issue within Trump’s presidency.

In 2018, Hicks left her position after the scandal involving former senior aide Robert Porter who was accused of physically abusing his two ex-wives while he and Hicks were dating at the time. Hicks helped with his public defense when the accusations were made. Prior to working for Trump, Hicks worked as the chief communications officer at Fox Corporation.
