Sean Spicer Future as White House Press Secretary 'In Doubt over Handling of James Comey Firing'


THE INDEPENDENT: Mr Spicer has been temporarily dropped from running his daily press briefings

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is said to be facing an uncertain future after his poor handling of Donald Trump’s decision to fire FBI director James Comey.

Mr Spicer, whose press appearances have been plagued by multiple gaffes, has been temporarily dropped from running his daily press briefings and will be replaced by Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for the entirety of this week.

According to White House insiders, the general perception is Mr Spicer has been “benched” during a massively decisive week which has seen the White House subject to heavy scrutiny over the sacking of Mr Comey. » | Maya Oppenheim | Thursday, May 11, 2017
