New White House press secretary McEnany to hold 1st briefing
WASHiNGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s new spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, is to face reporters for the first time in the White House Briefing Room on Friday, something her predecessor never did during a nine-month stint as press secretary. During past administrations, a White House press secretary holding a formal briefing would hardly be news. But it’s an oddity in the current administration, in which the media-obsessed Trump sees himself to be his best spokesman, communications director and strategist. Trump shook up his communications team in early April. Former press secretary Stephanie Grisham rejoined the first lady’s office in a new role as Melania Trump’s chief of staff.
