A week ago, one of his nearest helpers, Hope Hicks, surrendered. She was the fourth individual to have filled in as the president's correspondences boss. 

It came a day after she had affirmed before the House Intelligence Committee examining conceivable Trump crusade connections to Russia, yet White House sources said this was not the reason.
