The administration asked Donald Trump’s appointees to leave or be fired.

The Trump campaign is pledging to overturn Biden’s presidential victory with recounts in Wisconsin and Georgia.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham has yet to give a briefing, even as the country faces a raging pandemic.

Sarah Sanders and Sean Spicer were also made into laughingstocks while working for Trump.

No one in Trumpworld came out of the Mueller investigation looking good, but these seven people are especially tarnished.

The story behind Trump’s inauguration fiasco is even more pathetic than we thought.

Trump’s former flack is still struggling to find an audience.

Though it seems like ages ago, Sean Spicer was very recently the White House Press Secretary. During his brief tenure, he reduced his office to a new low of dishonesty and ignorance, between blatantly lying about the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd and claiming that Hitler did not use chemical weapons. In the midst of […]

MAGA fans who’ve been waiting for Sean Spicer to become a regular part of their punditry diet are going to have to find a new Trump cheerleader to embrace. It looks like the former White House press secretary can’t land any job offers as a paid contributor from major television news outlets. Why the cold […]

Donald Trump’s disastrous presidency, which seems to be unraveling right before our eyes this week, has finally forced someone to go on the record with the cameras rolling. The White House has not held an on-camera press briefing in nearly a month. Press secretary Sean Spicer, who resigned Friday morning, has not appeared on camera […]

It only took six months for Sean Spicer to decide he’s had enough of Donald Trump. The White House press secretary has repeatedly suffered humiliation and outright scorn at the hands of the president he serves. And now he’s calling it quits. On Friday morning, less than two hours after the White House announced the […]

The White House press secretary has been almost as AWOL as the president he supposedly speaks for — when he bothers to speak at all these days. Sean Spicer has not held a press briefing in nearly a month. And he hasn’t held one on camera for even longer than that. So when he finally […]

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has been hiding from the public. His last time appearing on-camera to spin for the Trump administration was in late June, and while he has held briefings since then, they were off-camera affairs. Spicer has not conducted any of the White House briefings since June 26. On Monday, the […]

For the first time in a week, Sean Spicer will be addressing the White House press corps with the cameras rolling. The Trump administration’s recent approach to the press, in addition to its regular and open hostility, is simply to avoid the press altogether. During a joint statement in the Rose Garden Monday with Indian […]

In his latest press briefing, White House press secretary Sean Spicer claimed that Donald Trump was “joking” when he urged Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails. Video of Trump’s comments from July 27, 2016, clearly shows that he was not joking. Trump said at the time, “I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, […]

As part of the strategy to legislate in the dark, Donald Trump’s White House has ordered news outlets to cut off their recordings for most of the press briefings over the past few weeks. While press secretary Sean Spicer is holding yet another off-camera press briefing on Friday afternoon, he was more than happy to […]

White House press secretary Sean Spicer broke the Trump administration’s week-long ban on on-camera press briefings, and claimed that his office has been transparent with reporters. The comment was notable as it comes in the middle of a major clampdown on information on multiple fronts by the Trump team and their congressional allies. Spicer told […]

Russia attempted to hijack our democracy and influence the outcome of our presidential election, and Donald Trump and his administration couldn’t care less. That was confirmed again on Tuesday by White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who admitted, in an exchange with OANN reporter Trey Yingst, that he has not even talked about it with Trump. […]

Donald Trump declared the media the enemy months ago. It was a dangerous, dictatorial assertion that drew wide criticism from across the political spectrum. His threats to a free press have only intensified since, and the White House press team has followed suit. Month ago, the White House banned from a press briefing major news […]

CNN reporter Jim Acosta had harsh words for the Trump administration’s decision to hold yet another off-camera press briefing. It has been a week since the White House press operation, led by press secretary Sean Spicer, has spoken on air about the multiple controversies, scandals, and legislative issues swirling around the Trump presidency. The White […]

Despite mounting evidence of both collusion and obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation, there was no on-camera White House press briefing Monday. That makes it a week since the last briefing. White House press secretary Sean Spicer held an off-camera press “gaggle,” but no cameras or audio were allowed. The original daily press schedule the White […]

During his daily — or, these days, occasional — press briefing, White House press secretary Sean Spicer tried to spin away a statement Donald Trump made only days ago. On Friday, Trump was asked during a press conference in the Rose Garden whether he would be willing to testify under oath about conversations he had with FBI Director James […]

The White House has made it clear that Donald Trump’s tweets should not be taken seriously. Or literally. Except for when they should. The question of whether statements from the president are in fact presidential statements, even when issued on Twitter, became even more confused during White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s Tuesday briefing. REPORTER: A […]

Donald Trump’s Twitter account is just as famous — or infamous — as he is. And his seeming inability to divest himself of his personal account, or at least to rein in his reckless use of it, has already become a dark hallmark of his presidency. In the most recent early-morning tweet storm, Trump attacked […]

While Donald Trump has had plenty to say about the terror attack in London, his White House has been extremely reluctant to say anything at all about the deadly domestic terror attack in Portland, Oregon. It’s a safe bet that Trump’s deputy press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, filling in on Monday for Sean Spicer, might […]

As part of his effort to delegitimize the press, Donald Trump has a long history of railing against the news media’s use of anonymous sources and leaks from within government — but only if the resulting reports are critical of him, his family, or his administration. He praises Fox News propaganda that supports his agenda […]

Donald Trump’s implied threat to silence former FBI Director James Comey continues to backfire, as members of Congress are now requesting any such tapes that might exist. At Monday’s White House daily briefing, press secretary Sean Spicer was hounded over Trump’s threat, and eventually was chased out of his own briefing by the dogged questioning. […]

White House press secretary Sean Spicer added a mysterious new wrinkle to the Trump administration’s ever-expanding roster of what it believes is “fake news.” According to Spicer, the media failed, in its coverage of Donald Trump’s first presidential trip abroad, to cover “the president’s results when it came to fighting terrorism” as a “big thing.” […]

White House press secretary Sean Spicer did not shoot down or rebuke Donald Trump’s tweets threatening former FBI Director James Comey when asked about it during the daily press briefing. On Friday morning, Trump tweeted, “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” Asked three […]

White House press secretary Sean Spicer cited baseless office gossip to attempt deflect from the Trump administration’s failure to remove Michael Flynn after they were made aware he posed a national security risk. Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates testified to a Senate committee that she warned the Trump team on three separate occasions that […]
