There has been a lot of exits from the White House this week...Hope Hicks announced her resignation and Jared Kushner's security clearance was downgraded. Vanity Fair's Emily Jane Fox joins The Hive to discuss what the White House will do now.
Fox says the resignation of Hope Hicks changes the tide in the White House and could possibly make Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner more palatable. However, Kushner won't emerge from this as a "success story" and he won't leave the White House until Trump tells him to.
Hope Hicks leaving opens the door for John Kelly to bring in one of his own to run the White House communication department. In Fox's opinion, President Trump has always been and will always be the Director of Communications in the White House. No matter who John Kelly brings in to replace Hicks won't really matter because Trump will do whatever he wants anyway.
