Episode Synopsis

Hope Hicks Biography Flash a weekly Biography.I am Hope Hicks, and over the past few days my usually low profile has been broken more by analysis than by actual sightings. The most concrete development in my recent life remains my role as chief operating officer of Megyn Kellys media company, Devil May Care Media, a position I took on in August 2025, where I oversee business development, operations, and the growth of a podcast and digital network, according to my biographical summary on Wikipedia. That corporate move is widely viewed as my formal pivot from politics back into the media and business world, and it is likely to stand as the next major chapter in my long term biography, marking a move from being the aide behind the scenes to helping build a brand of my own.In the immediate past few days, there have been no verified reports from major outlets like the Associated Press, the New York Times, ABC News, CNN, or Fox News of any new public appearances, on camera interviews, or official business announcements in my name. A scan of political and media coverage shows that when my name surfaces right now, it is usually in retrospective pieces revisiting my testimony in Donald Trumps New York hush money trial earlier in 2024, or in background explainers about his inner circle. PBS NewsHour and other outlets earlier this year highlighted my emotional appearance on the stand, describing me as a longtime aide who detailed the scramble inside the 2016 campaign after the Access Hollywood tape and the efforts to contain stories about alleged affairs. Those stories continue to be recycled whenever the legal case returns to the headlines, but they are not new developments.On social media, verified mentions of me in the last few days trend toward commentary rather than news. Journalists and commentators occasionally bring me up as shorthand for Trumps loyal inner circle, or as an example of a young female adviser navigating a brutal media environment. Some partisan accounts speculate about whether I might someday return to a future Trump orbit or write a tell all memoir; those are opinions and guesses only, not grounded in any confirmed reporting or deals. Earlier tabloid style speculation that I could land a multimillion dollar book contract, reported in outlets like the Daily Mail and amplified by local stations such as KATV, has never materialized into an announced project, and to date no major publisher has confirmed a book from me.So for this episode of Hope Hicks Audio Bio, the biographically meaningful headline is the same one that quietly landed a few months ago: I have migrated from West Wing operative to media executive, trading Air Force One for the conference room and the podcast slate. Any rumor that places me back at the White House, back on a campaign plane, or secretly crafting a tell all should be treated as speculation unless and until you see it confirmed by a primary outlet like the New York Times, the Washington Post, or the Associated Press.Thank you for listening, and please subscribe so you never miss an update on Hope Hicks.
