White House aide fired after Melania Trump row

The Quint  

Washington, Nov 15 The White House, has confirmed that deputy National Security Adviser Mira Ricardel was leaving her position after First Lady Melania Trump's office issued an unprecedented public statement calling for her ouster. "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that no longer deserves the honour of serving in this White House," Melania Trump's Communications Director Stephanie Grisham said in Tuesday's statement. An informed source said that Ricardel quarrelled with the First Lady's staff over her October trip to Africa on issues including seating on the plane and use of National Security Council resources. Ricardel seemed to have crossed a line in taking on the First Lady's office over the trip, making what some viewed as challenging requests and being obstinate, a White House official told CNN.
