New White House Press Secretary Holds First Briefing

May 1, 2020 4:09 am

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s new spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, says she will never lie to reporters. McEnany made her debut at the first White House briefing by a press secretary in more than a year. Asked if she would tell reporters the truth, McEnany said: “I will never lie to you. You have my word on that.” During past administrations, a White House press secretary holding a formal briefing would hardly be news. But it was the first such briefing since March 11, 2019, when Sarah Sanders held the job. Sanders’ successor, Stephanie Grisham, never held a briefing during her entire nine-month tenure.  (Photo:  CNN)
