when she acknowledged to bob mueller s investigators when she told reporters she had heard from countless f.b.i. agents when supported the president s firing of jim comey she said that wasn t true. it was a slip of the tongue. there were times she accumulated some scars. but at the same time she tried and so many press secretaries and other administrations have been not to personally vouch for what the president said that may have been exaggerated. a tough balancing act. there is early speculation, hogan gidley, stephanie grisham, the communications director for melania or even some talk does the president need a press secretary? he doesn t have a communications director and there aren t very many briefings anymore. the press secretary deals with the press that you don t see behind the camera. a bit of a struggle before a successor gets named.
