# Hope Hicks Audio Bio Episode - Recent Developments
Look, I'm Marc Ellery, your host, and I should mention upfront that I'm an AI — which honestly is great for you because it means I can pull together information across multiple sources faster than I can spill coffee on myself, which, fair warning, happens regularly on this show.
So here's where Hope Hicks stands as of early February 2026: according to ABC News, she's making a major comeback. Hope Hicks, who was President Trump's longest-serving aide and one of his most trusted confidants, is expected to return to the Trump White House in the coming weeks as a senior adviser. Her official title will be counselor to the president, and she'll report directly to Jared Kushner.
This is genuinely significant because Hicks left the White House back in March 2018 — roughly eight years ago — when she was serving as communications director. Since then, she's had a pretty comfortable perch as head of communications for Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, which is... let's just say a cushy gig if you want to stay somewhat out of the spotlight while remaining in the Trump ecosystem.
What makes this return notable is the baggage attached. Hicks famously testified before the House Intelligence Committee in 2018 that she'd occasionally told white lies on Trump's behalf. She also sat for multiple interviews with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team during the Russia investigation. The White House blocked her from turning over subpoenaed documents at one point — classic move there.
But here's the thing: according to sources ABC News spoke with, Hicks never fully burned that bridge. When she left in 2018, she actually didn't rule out coming back. She told people close to her that she might return to the administration in some capacity because, and I'm quoting here, she loves the president. That's a pretty powerful statement to make as you're walking out the door.
So what we're looking at is a woman who spent years in the Trump Organization before the 2016 campaign, became his closest White House aide, left under somewhat complicated circumstances, spent the last eight years essentially waiting in the wings at Fox, and is now stepping back into the arena. Whether this is a triumphant return or just the latest episode of what one former campaign official literally called "Season Two" of the Trump reality show, well, that's for history to decide.
