Hope Hicks is returning to the White House as “counselor to the president,” reporting to president Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
The 31-year-old was White House communications director before exiting early last year for the chief communications officer post at Fox, which is headed by Lachlan Murdoch son of media baron Rupert Murdoch.
“There is no one more devoted to implementing President Trump’s agenda than Hope Hicks,” Kushner said in a statement. “We are excited to have her back on the team.”
Hicks is expected to play a major role in Trump’s re-election campaign.
