White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham is leaving the job after eight months during which she held no regular press briefings of the sort that once defined the position.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany will replace Grisham as press secretary, and Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah will take over Grisham’s other West Wing title as director of strategic communications, a senior administration official said Tuesday.
The official, who requested anonymity because the White House has not formally announced who will replace Grisham, also said that Ben Williamson, a senior aide to new White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, will be senior adviser for communications.
First lady Melania Trump announced Tuesday that Grisham would rejoin her staff as a full-time chief of staff and spokesperson, calling her “a mainstay and true leader in the Administration.”
