Trump’s last White House deputy press secretary 'has some regrets'

Raw Story  

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan on Sunday grilled indicted former President Donald Trump's final Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews about what she experienced during the tumultuous termination of Trump's presidency. On July 21st, 2022, Matthews testified before the United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, recalling that Trump's staff pleaded with him to quell the violence that erupted as lawmakers were certifying Joe Biden's 332-206 Electoral College victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Hasan's curiosity centered around why Matthews chose to serve under Trump in the first place: I've gotta ask Sarah. You resigned from your position as deputy press secretary after the January 6th attack and said, your former boss is a 'threat to democracy,' which I'm glad you did and said.
