Grisham says former Trump officials meeting next week 'to try and stop him'

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Thursday said she and a group of officials who worked in the Trump administration are meeting next week to “try and stop” former President Trump.

“I can say that next week a group of former Trump staff are going to come together, administration officials, are going to come together and we're going to talk about how we can formally do some things to try and stop him and also, you know, the extremism, that kind of violence and rhetoric that has been talked about and continues to divide our country,” Grisham told CNN in an interview.

She said she is “really excited” to gather with the former Trump officials and “do some great things.” The meeting will take place both in person and on Zoom.

Grisham — who also served as former first lady Melania Trump’s communications director and chief of staff while working in the administration — refused to say which officials are planning to join the meeting, but did reveal there will be “about 15” in attendance, some of whom worked in the White House.

She noted that some expected attendees were ranked higher than her and others lower.
