Here’s who it is…
First lady Melania Trump announced that top aide Stephanie Grisham has been selected to replace outgoing White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
Trump wrote on Twitter that Grisham will also assume the role as White House communications director. “I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse,” she said. CNN reports Grisham will remain as the first lady’s spokesperson.

Sanders, who announced earlier June that she will depart the White House said that Grisham “will be an incredible asset to the President and the country.”
“Proud to have another mom and a great friend in this role,” added Sanders.
