UPDATE: CNN's NatSec/Congress/Russia reporter tweets:
It appears Hope Hicks isn't answering some questions about the White House: Rep. Chris Stewart told reporters there were some questions she wasn't going to answer dealing with the administration. "From the time of the inauguration,” he said. Also expects this to go for a while

White House communications director and close Trump aide Hope Hicks finally is cleared to meet with the House Intelligence Committee and will do so Tuesday.
... Hicks was supposed to appear before the committee in January, but her interview was abruptly postponed while counsel for the White House and committee sorted out the scope of her testimony.
CNN:
"We don't know at this point if she will testify completely or fully as others who have served in the administration have, or whether she will do what Steve Bannon did, which was stonewall," [House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff of California] said. "We hope obviously she will be cooperative, but at this point I don't know what we can expect."
Schiff has called on the House panel to issue contempt citations to Bannon and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who also limited the scope of questions he would answer, although the Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation, Rep. Mike Conaway of Texas, has not said yet if that step would be pursued.
The committee will want to question Hicks about any and all contact Trump campaign members might have had with Russian intermediaries. However, one of the most charged issues likely to be addressed is Hicks' knowledge of the White House's initial statement, drafted aboard Air Force One, in response to press reports of a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Russians and Trump campaign officials. Committee members will presumably want to probe what role the president himself had in the process – which is also an area said to be of special interest to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Hicks' own role in responding to reports of the meeting may also be scrutinized. According to a report in the New York Times, a former spokesman for President Trump's legal team, Mark Corallo, planned to tell Mueller's team that Hicks said on a conference call that emails written by the President's son, Donald Trump, Jr., about the Trump Tower meeting, "will never get out."
In a statement at the time, Hicks' lawyer, Robert P. Trout, strongly denied Corallo's allegation ...
Hicks reportedly already has interviewed with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee.
