'No. I’ve never heard Mrs. Trump say anything disparaging about the family,' Stephanie Grisham, who serves as the first lady's chief of staff, told MSNBC's Hallie Jackson on Tuesday. 'They're a close-knit family. She’s talked about them many times publicly,' she added.

resident Donald Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany will serve as the new White House press secretary, replacing Stephanie Grisham who was out of the post on Tuesday. Grisham is returning to serve on First Lady Melania Trump’s staff. The New York Times reported Tuesday that, “Kayleigh McEnany, a campaign spokeswoman will replace her — the latest shake-up in a communications office that has been seen almost constant turnover under President Trump.” “Ms. McEnany has been a vocal defender of Mr. Trump on television, the main role the president has long believed the press secretary should play, according to current and...

Stephanie Grisham is out as White House press secretary and will be repalced by Kayleigh McEnany without having ever held a single press briefing. Grisham, who replaced Sarah Huckabee Sanders last June, will return to the East Wing as First Lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff, without having ever held a press briefing, the White House announced Tuesday. “I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” a statement from the first lady read, “She has been a mainstay and true leader in the Administration from even before day one, and I know she will...

Stephanie Grisham is departing her role as White House press secretary. Grisham, who never held a news conference in the press secretary role, will return to the East Wing as chief of staff and spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump. “I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday. “She has been a mainstay and true leader in the Administration from even before day one, and I know she will excel as Chief of Staff. I appreciate all that Lindsay Reynolds did over the past three years, and wish...

During an interview on MediaBuzz the same day, Grisham said she had not spoken to the president about his tweet but added that she believes Schiff is “obsessed” with Trump. “I think [Trump] means [Schiff] hasn’t yet paid the price with the voters. He hasn’t paid the price yet with the people of this country who see that he's been lying and very obsessed and, quite frankly, it seems like he’s having a little bit of a mental issue when you sit on the floor for hours and hours and hours. He is obsessed with this president and trying to...

With the impeachment of President Donald Trump, the U.S. House of Representatives sent a clear message to the American people. Despite the many problems in our country, the top concern for House Democrats is to punish President Trump. His true “crime” is being an outsider, an advocate of “America First” policies and a president committed to “draining the swamp” in Washington, D.C. His values make him the enemy of the Deep State, the media, the Democrats and their allies in Hollywood. After his unfair, rushed and completely partisan impeachment in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Trump haters exploded in...

The White House pushed back Friday against claims that Donald Trump's tweeted jab at global warming activist Greta Thunberg, 16, is incompatible with Melania Trump's protective insistence that her 13-year-old son Barron is out-of-bounds for reporters. The first lady has crusaded against cyber-bullying as one plank in her 'BeBest' platform. The president mocked Thunberg on Thursday after Time magazine named the jet-setting, school-bycotting teen its Person of the Year, leaving his spokeswoman to parry claims of hypocrisy. 'BeBest is the First Lady’s initiative, and she will continue to use it to do all she can to help children,' White House...

The two teens are different, the first lady noted through a spokesperson. “He is a 13-year-old who wants and deserves privacy,” Melania’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said of Barron in an emailed statement on Friday — the day after Trump lashed out at Thunberg because Time magazine had named her “Person of the Year.” Thunberg, meanwhile, is a public person “who travels the globe giving speeches.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham started her tenure on the right foot with the White House press corps — the same foot she pivoted off to shove North Korean guards aside so reporters could cover President Trump and Kim Jong Un. Grisham won applause from journalists excited to see her take decisive action Sunday ensuring coverage of the historic meeting in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. A clip of Grisham’s Sunday scuffle played on TVs in White House workspaces on Monday morning as journalists who were there relayed the experience to colleagues, recalling that North Korean guards hadn't screened the...

She’s new on the job as White House Press Secretary but Stephanie Grisham has already created headlines of her own. Reporters on the scene of President Trump’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un claimed that Grisham was bruised up during a confrontation with North Korean guards.

Canada Free Press (CFP) Prediction: Journos in the press corps will turn on Stephanie (Rocky) Grisham before this day is out. The music theme from the ‘Rocky’ movie should be playing in the heads of Jim Acosta and other journos whenever they hear the name of new White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham. But members of the mostly anti-Trump White House press corps will, rather than being grateful that she cleared the path for them to cover the President Donald Trump/Kim Jong Un handshake will be too busy looking for ways to knock her out of the ring.

Newly appointed White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham was reportedly bruised in a scuffle with North Korean guards as President Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Tensions escalated after the guards tried to prevent U.S. reporters from entering a room inside the Freedom House in South Korea as Trump and Kim began their meeting, according to The Guardian. White House and foreign affairs correspondents tweeted about the encounter, saying Grisham got into a struggle with North Korean guards to ensure reporters had access to the meeting. "New WH Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham got into a scuffle with...

Melania Trump’s chief of communications Stephanie Grisham picked as next White House press secretary and communications director First lady Melania Trump’s chief spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, has been tapped to become the next White House press secretary and communications director, the first lady announced Tuesday.

Stephanie Grisham, spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump, is emerging as the top candidate to replace outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, according to sources familiar with the selection process. Grisham, a former Trump campaign aide who has served in the White House since Trump took office, is known as a shrewd tactician loyal to the first family.

WASHINGTON, June 14 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump has four leading candidates under consideration to replace outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, a Trump confidant said on Friday. The four are deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley, Stephanie Grisham, who is first lady Melania Trump's communications director, former State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert and outgoing Treasury Department spokesman Tony Sayegh, the source said on condition of anonymity.

The mainstream media are finding out that it isn’t as easy to bully Melania Trump as they thought it would be.Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, the media have treated the First Lady with utter disdain, ignoring the many positive initiatives she has spearheaded in order to focus on trivialities like her choice of clothing or Christmas decorations.Melania has endured the abuse with remarkable patience, but the latest hit piece — courtesy of none other than CNN — drew a sharp rebuke from her deputy chief of staff for communications, Stephanie Grisham.The First Lady recently acknowledged in an interview that “opportunists...

(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.

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...
