  • Stephanie Grisham steps down - she was already the third press officer
  • Grisham is now working for Melania Trump again

Washington - As several US media reports, the White House is again moving chairs. Stephanie Grisham will leave her post as President Donald Trump's press officer after less than a year in office.

Grisham is Trump's third spokeswoman to resign prematurely. Sean Spicer gave up after just 182 days, Sarah Sanders held the post for almost two years. Spicer started a career at "Dancing with the Stars", Sanders hired at Fox News.

Stephanie Grisham works for Melania Trump again

As the US news channel CNN reports, Grisham returns to the team of First Lady Melania Trump . The 43-year-old mother of two had already worked there as a press officer. Now Grisham is to work as Melania's chief of staff in the "East Wing" of the White House, which traditionally houses the offices of the First Lady.

In a statement, Grisham said she was still proud to serve both "the president and the first lady." She will remain on the President's team until her successor has been trained.

Donald Trump is looking for a successor - promising candidates

It is not yet known who will succeed her, but should be announced "in the coming days". Promising candidates, according to CNN, are primarily Kayleigh McEnany, spokeswoman for Donald Trump's campaign campaign, and Alyssa Farah, currently spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Defense.

In contrast to her predecessors, Grisham seldom appeared in public. While both Spicer and Sanders had confronted media converters in daily press conferences, Grisham did not hold one of these press conferences during her tenure. Her public appearances were limited to interviews with Trump's house and court broadcaster, the conservative television broadcaster Fox News.

Donald Trump in the White House - high wear and tear on employees

Another reason why Grisham has to vacate her post is due to another change in the White House. Donald Trump's new chief of staff Mark Meadows , who had recently replaced Mick Mulvaney, is probably in the process of building a new team of his own. Meadows is Trump's fourth chief of staff.

At least that's what CNN suspects. Grisham was also absent from Trump's appearances on the corona crisis in the United States. Vice President Mike Pence's team was also responsible for PR work on the Corona Task Force.

Grisham is considered a loyal member of Team Trump, whom she joined in the 2015 campaign, and a close confidante of Melania Trump. The First Lady is said to have received daily advice from Grisham. (with dpa)
