Stephanie Grisham ousted as White House press secretary

Stephanie Grisham has been ousted as the White House press secretary as President Donald Trump’s new chief of staff, Mark Meadows, reorganizes West Wing staff, CNN was the first to report on Tuesday.

Grisham will be first lady Melania Trump’s new chief of staff. She previously served in the East Wing as the first lady’s communications director.

The New York Times reported shortly after CNN’s story broke that Kayleigh McEnany, a spokeswoman for the president’s 2020 reelection campaign, would replace Grisham as the White House press secretary.

Meadows, who replaced Mick Mulvaney last month, had also been considering Alyssa Farah, the spokeswoman for the Department of Defense, CNN said.
