Stephanie Grisham, born on July twenty-third, nineteen seventy-six, is a notable American political adviser and former White House official. She served as the thirty-second White House press secretary and held the position of White House communications director from July two thousand nineteen to April two thousand twenty. Grisham's career in the Trump administration was marked by her unique approach to media engagement, as she became the first press secretary to forgo traditional press conferences in favor of interviews on conservative news outlets.
Before her tenure as press secretary, Grisham was the chief of staff and press secretary for Melania Trump, the first lady of the United States, from two thousand twenty to two thousand twenty-one. Her journey in the political arena began as a press aide during Donald Trump's two thousand sixteen presidential campaign, followed by her role in the presidential transition team. She succeeded Sarah Huckabee Sanders as Trump's third White House press secretary.
Grisham's resignation on January sixth, two thousand twenty-one, came in the wake of the storming of the United States Capitol, a pivotal moment in American history. Since leaving her position, she has emerged as a critic of Trump, sharing her experiences and insights through her writing. In September two thousand twenty-one, she announced the release of her book, 'I'll Take Your Questions Now...', which reflects on her time in the Trump administration.
