White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham reportedly out after 9 months and 0 press briefings
White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is leaving her post, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN. Grisham will reportedly return to the East Wing where she'll become the chief of staff to first lady Melania Trump.
Grisham's departure comes as former Rep. Mark Meadows replaces Mick Mulvaney as President Trump's chief of staff and "shakes up" the White House communications team, CNN says. Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany is reportedly under consideration to replace Grisham, and several other administration staffers could reportedly be headed to the West Wing's communications team in the near future.

Axios reported Friday that Meadows was considering McEnany or Pentagon spokesperson Alyssa Farah to replace Grisham, but Grisham brushed it off. "Sounds like more palace intrigue to me, but I've also been in quarantine. If true, how ironic that the press secretary would hear about being replaced in the press," she said.
