President Trump just fired FBI Director, James Comey in his attempt to drain the swamp. TGP recently reported that Trump kept the news of his decision to fire Comey from White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus and Press Secretary, Sean Spicer as a way to prevent leaks.
Kimberly Guilfoyle just told Mercury News that she is in conversations with the Trump administration about becoming White House press secretary.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former first lady of San Francisco and current Fox News host, is in conversations with the Trump administration about becoming White House press secretary, she said in an interview with the Bay Area News Group on Monday night.
Guilfoyle said the idea of her taking the job or another press role in the White House has been “raised by a number of people” in the Trump administration, although she declined to go into specifics. She noted that she’s regularly in touch with members of the administration in the course of her job.
“I’m a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country,” Guilfoyle said. “I think it’d be a fascinating job. It’s a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position.”
She was originally considered for press secretary during the presidential transition, but the job went to Sean Spicer, the former spokesman for the Republican National Committee.
The White House did not respond Tuesday morning to a request for comment about the speculation over Guilfoyle.
Independent journalist, Mike Cernovich, who broke the Susan Rice unmasking story among other stories took to his Twitter account last week and tweeted a teaser claiming Spicer might be replaced soon.
Sources tell me Trump is looking to replace Spicer. He’s interviewed at least two women you’d all recognized (not saying how right now).
