Hope Hicks to meet with House Intelligence on Tuesday

White House Communications Director Hope Hicks will appear before the House Intelligence Committee tomorrow in relation to the Trump-Russia probe, CBS News reports. Her appearance had previously been delayed.

Why it matters: Hicks has been one of Trump's closest aides during the campaign and throughout his White House tenure. She was also reportedly present for the crafting of a statement that obscured the purpose of Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer, a sequence of events that has attracted the interest of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
