White House communications director Hope Hicks will reportedly speak with the House Intelligence Committee in the panel’s probe into Russian election interference.
Hicks will meet with the committee as soon as Friday, CNN reported on Monday.
She will likely face questions about any contacts between Trump associates and Moscow and the White House’s involvement in writing up a misleading statement about Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower during the campaign.
Hicks’s attorney and a spokesman for Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif), the top Democrat on the committee, both declined to comment to CNN. Hicks and a spokeswoman for Rep. Mike Conway (R-Texas) did not return CNN’s request for comment.
The now-communications director was one of the first staffers to join the Trump campaign and has remained close to the president.
