The Trump administration is reeling over domestic violence allegations against a top White House aide, Rob Porter. But you might not know it if you watch Fox News, where the disturbing story has been largely, and conspicuously, absent.

But Fox News continued to serve as a Trumpian echo chamber. Rather than cover the allegations against a senior White House aide, the network spent much of Wednesday hyping a debunked story suggesting that former President Barack Obama had waded into the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

Hicks is the White House communications director and one of President Trump's closest aides. Yet she has never given a TV interview. She is rarely quoted at all. She is the yin to Trump's attention-grabbing yang.

Hicks, 29, has been dating Rob Porter, the Trump aide who resigned Wednesday after his two ex-wives accused him of domestic abuse.
