Sarah Huckabee Sanders is preparing to leave the White House. CBS News reports the press secretary, along with deputy press secretary Raj Shah, “are planning their departures.”
Huckabee Sanders has been widely criticized from both sides of the aisle for repeatedly lying to reporters, and refusing to acknowledge those lies even when called out on them specifically.
NCRM reported that in May there were only nine “daily” press briefings. Eight were held by Huckabee Sanders, one by Shah. The briefings are remarkably short as is Huckabee Sanders’ attitude toward the White House press corps.
Sanders “has told friends that she plans to leave the administration at the end of the year,” CBS reports, citing sources inside the White House and close to the administration.
