The former Trump campaign staffer has been a loyalist since the onset of the campaign.

Interim White House communications director Hope Hicks has retained her own lawyer to represent her in the ongoing Russia investigation, Politico reported Friday night.

Hicks was among several close aides to President Donald Trump who were under closer scrutiny amid special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of the Trump campaign's ties to Russia during the 2016 election.

The 28-year-old protégé reportedly hired Robert Trout, a respected attorney who also served for four years as assistant US attorney in Baltimore.
