Is This Real Life? Hope Hicks Admits She Sometimes Tells "White Lies" For Donald Trump

Hope Hicks admitted before the House Intelligence Committee on Feb. 27 that her role as Donald Trump's White House Communications Director has required her to tell white lies. The admission came during closed-door private testimony that lasted over eight hours, according to The New York Times.

It was a surprising statement given that Hicks had previously declined to discuss anything regarding the presidential transition or her role in the White House. Instead, the 29-year-old aide would only answer questions pertaining to the president's campaign and the ongoing Russia investigation. On that front, Hicks said she hasn't lied in response to any questions about Russia's possible involvement in the election.

Her response caused quite a stir online, with many wondering what special counsel Robert Mueller's reaction might have been. Following news of the statement, NPR lead editor Domenico Montanaro compared the "white lies" comment to Kellyanne Conway's infamous "alternative facts" moment. On Twitter, he wrote, "We need to be able to trust the rare answers to questions we ask on behalf of the American public. That's not the case right now."
