The Hive's hosts Jon Kelly and Kristen Scholer discuss the latest news in politics, business, and technology. From Hope Hicks' sudden departure from the White House to the Kardashian's impact on social media, we have you covered.
Vanity Fair's Tina Nguyen says that Hope Hicks has always had a special place in the White House, she just hadn't been pushed into the public eye. All that changed when her boyfriend, Rob Porter, was accused of assaulting his ex-wives. That, plus her testimony at a House intelligence briefing over "white lies" she's told seemed to put her over the edge and caused her to resign.
Plus, no one thought John Kelly could nuke out Jared Kushner...but he did! Kushner's security clearance has been downgraded this week and his future at the White House is uncertain.
Stocks were mixed at the open but Wall Street was heading for a losing week as investors digested the hints that the Federal Reserve could raise rates before the end of the year.
