President Donald Trump picked long-time aide Stephanie Grisham to serve as the next White House press secretary and communications director.
Since the early days of the administration, Grisham served as a fierce and loyal spokeswoman for the president’s wife, Melania Trump, who announced the appointment Tuesday on Twitter. Grisham replaces Sarah Huckabee Sanders as press secretary and Bill Shine, who left the communications director job in March.
