(CNN)First lady Melania Trump, in a remarkable move carried out by her spokeswoman, publicly pushed for the ouster of deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel. "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that (Ricardel) no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House," the first lady's communications director Stephanie Grisham said in a statement on Tuesday. The statement amounted to a stunning public rebuke by a first lady of a senior official serving in her husband's administration. It came after reports surfaced earlier Tuesday indicating Ricardel would be pushed out of her post after less than seven months on the job. Neither Ricardel not spokespeople for the National Security Council responded to CNN requests for comment.

Considering the CNN source I’ll wait for further updates to the story from legitimate sources.

Liz Claman of Fox Business is reporting that Ricardel has been fired and escorted off of the WH grounds.

I’m sure there is a justifiable reason. Melania don’t play.

Amen and Amen. Fake News until proven otherwise.

And even then. This seems like a Notingburger with Cheese.

I wonder how many times Hitlery or MOBama pushed for some nobody assistant junior deputy to be fired.

That would be my guess.

What did she do - wear the same pair of Louboutins Melania had on that day? :)

Probably a leaker or a mole, and Melania found out about it.

While I certainly don’t trust CNN, here is another mystery to me. I have previously served in an appointed position. If I knew my boss was unhappy with me I would resign, in fact, I have on one occasion due to incompatible ways of achieving a common goal. But the reality is that if you are appointed and your boss isn’t happy or there are difference of opinions, you resign! You don’t hang on and go out the door kicking and screaming and creating unnecessary drama. You resign honorably and move on. How bad is it that the first lady ostensibly sends out a press release calling for you to go? Man, just go!

I read that she was disliked by everyone except for Bolton.

(Bolton is probably grumpy enough all by himself. I say this as another grumpy old guy.)

A White House official just told reporters the WSJ story is not accurate. Says Mira Ricardel has not been fired or escorted off the grounds and is at her desk and still works at the WH now.

Liz said it’s because the guy gave Melania short shrift on funds required for her Africa trip.

I wonder what is the REAL reason.

IF this report is to be believed, Ms. Ricardel managed to P.O. a lot of people.

Melania probably told the President "Fire her or I'll burn her down myself using just my eyes!"

The President then had no choice but to do the humanitarian thing.
