(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.

Sounds like she’s been an issue for a while It was the first lady’s COS who used those words tho.
Probably a set up to identify a WH leaker.
I gathered more info in the article at post 21
Did she ask Mooch first
Ain’t Mama happy, ain’t nobody happy.
(meandering)
LEAKER.
Ricardel mounted a remote video cam in the presidential boudoir? /S
I am sure that the 1st Lady has a very good reason. Perhaps Ricardel was about to publish something anonymously or had tried to leak something which violated privacy of Baron, The President or the First Lady.
I am sure the shite is about to hit a very large fan, we haven’t heard all of it yet, given that CNN is breaking the news, a lot has been spun or strategically omitted.
According to the story on Drudge about Kelly getting the boot (yet, again) there have been multiple incidents of disrespect to Melania and her smaller-than-all-other-First-Lady staff.
You don’t piss off the bosses wife, I don’t care who you are of if it’s East Wing or the corner store.
Maybe she told him SHE’S off limits until the person is gone.
That would work for me!!
I never thought about that. Does a president EVER have COMPLETE privacy?
Even overnight?
That was my first thought, and I've wondered the same on many occasions given who is running this White House.
Aye. There's the rub.
Considering the CNN source I’ll wait for further updates to the story from legitimate sources.
Yes. Makes no sense that Melania would announce that decision.
If some employee does not work out for whatever reason, and has to be let go, CNN’s mission will be to craft the most disruptive and damaging possible mis-characterization of events.
No holds barred.
Cat-fight? Hair pulling contest?
Fox is carrying story also with as much detail.
If you don't already know about it do a search for "Travelgate".
Never.
She just had them killed.
Yes, but it appears to be a public statement from the Office of the First Lady.
In this case I'd prefer the Soviet technique for removal... "Ricardel has been fired and escorted to a mental institution in northern Alaska."
Of course there is always the demoncrat party technique for removal... "Ricardel has been fired and escorted to Fort Marcy Park where she will commit suicide by two bullets to the back of the head."
