Stephanie Grisham, First Lady Melania Trump’s press secretary, will soon become the new White House press secretary.
I am pleased to announce @StephGrisham45 will be the next @PressSec & Comms Director! She has been with us since 2015 - @potus & I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse. #BeBest

Like her predecessors Sarah Sanders and Sean Spicer, Grisham has a history of lying in defense of President Donald Trump.
Last July, Grisham attempted to backup Trump’s false claim about the Brexit vote.
He did. It actually is true. I was there. June 23. https://t.co/5xrbSks1Xd

The BBC’s Jon Sopel replied with the “indisputable facts.”
Stephanie - I hate to argue as we were there together. He was NOT at Turnberry on the day before the referendum, as he said at the news conference. He was not there on polling day itself. He was there the day after, on Friday 24th. These are indisputable facts

But Grisham still doubled down.
Nope. I have photos. I also have a newspaper from the morning after Brexit. I remember sitting in a pub the night before, watching the results come in.

As has been the case many times over the past three years, there was a Trump tweet (with a timestamp) that contradicted this story.
Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!
