Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that more than a dozen of her former Trump administration colleagues plan to meet next week to try and stop former President Donald Trump as he continues to "manipulate people and divide our country."
"Next week, a group of former Trump staff are going to come together, administration officials are going to come together and we're going to talk about how we can formally do some things to try and stop him and also, the extremism, that that kind of violence, rhetoric that has been talked about and continues to divide our country," Grisham told CNN's John Berman and Brianna Keilar in an interview on "New Day."
Grisham, who was also chief of staff to former first lady Melania Trump, declined to reveal who will be joining her in the efforts, but said there would be "about 15" of her former colleagues, including some who worked inside the White House. Some of the officials, she said, were junior to her, while others were senior. A few of the officials had "informal chats," did outreach to others, and conducted "some Zooms, some conference calls," culminating in the partially in-person formal meeting next week, according to Grisham.
Several people involved in the effort who spoke to CNN said the group currently includes between 15 to 20 individuals who served in the Trump administration, but have since soured on the former President, and who believe his indisputable control of the Republican Party is negatively impacting the country.
Among those invited to participate in the meeting were former senior officials like Chris Krebs, who had directed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency inside the Department of Homeland Security, and former top White House aides like John Bolton, whom Trump ousted from his role as

To all those on here, and elsewhere, that love to complain that President Trump should have picked better people.
When the talent pool is filled with POSs like this and others, it’s much harder than anyone thinks.
I’m thinking that while he was busy trying to get this country headed in the right direction, deal with adversaries in China-Russia-EU-everywhere, getting out military where it should be, the border, trade deals, and fighting Congress on a daily basis, being the HR Director and having the ability to properly vett people wasn’t too high on the list.
A position needed to be filled. “Mr President I have just the guy/gal for you. He/she’s the best”. Of course they leave out that the person is 100% a mole and snake in the grass, who will dutifully report to McConnell, Schumer, et al, everything that is being discussed.
All of that and he’s still one of the best President’s to ever hold the office
Donald John Trump is the brilliant, imperfect, sometimes ordinarily common, average person; and he is simultaneously the existential threat.
No RINOS

That part is up to us, WE have to primary out the Assistant Democrats, even if Trump has endorsed them, which is making draining the swamp that much harder.
Amnesty Senators Rubio and Hoeven are up in 2022.
If we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats, they will keep assisting the Democrats until the Democrats have a permanent majority.
That is the whole point of the Bush Plan for North Mexico that has been bipartisan policy for 30 years, except for Trump.
Leaving the borders open and the laws unenforced to change the demographics of the country against the will of the citizens so they can steal the country from the citizens and subsume it to the UN in a New World Order.
Bolton & Krebs, the war whores that keep seeking war.
He was relying on and trusting Reince Priebus and Mike Pence and they were recommending snakes.
Yup. Can’t wait to see the full list.
Traitors.
They should all be paraded before a firing squad.
Traitors and turncoats.
It’s amazing how much President Trump accomplished in four years, with so many idiots plotting against him, including putrid members of his own party.
“conducted “some Zooms”
The ChiComs must get a laugh out of watching those.
Trump must be unhappy as he contemplates how many of his subordinates were backstabbers.
Because there really is no more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Washington DC.
And now it's the backstabbing subordinates in the Republican party who are unhappy as they contemplate their future.
You didn’t happen to vote for an open borders globalist and the son of a CIA boss did ya? I ask because that’s what the Republican party and many here did, multiple times...How about you?
Trump sure was an eye opener in that regard. Good luck to the elite stuffing that particular cat back into its bag.
Sure you will. Go away dope!
You would have been happier if Gore and Kerry had won?
I always despised the elder Bush, and admittedly the younger one had me fooled for way too long, thinking that he was not a ‘chip off the ol block’.
But just because I think Trump should have tried harder to hire non-swampy people, you want to disparage not just my past votes but those of most of the people on FR? How strange.
Bolton, Scaramucci et Al says it all. Scumbag traitors all.
Wait, I have an idea. Why not let the voters decide? You idiots talk about democracy enough.
He’ll be wearing his Bob Cratchet collar!
The Lincoln Project 2?
