Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly scheduled an interview with Hope Hicks. Hicks, a former model, is said to be Trump’s rumored girlfriend. She is also the current White House communications director who keeps a low profile and doesn’t appear on cable news programs. She has been one of the few who has been by Trump’s side since the beginning that many expected to be interviewed. She is also seen as Trump’s gatekeeper.
