Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in response to reports that former first lady Melania Trump entered the Situation Room during a 2019 raid against ISIS that “this is not normal.”
“No, this is not normal. I think it’s important to restate that as much as possible around Trump,” she said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday.
Psaki was responding to reports from an excerpt of former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller’s book called “Soldier Secretary.” The Hill obtained an advance copy of the book, which is being released Tuesday.
He wrote in one part that Melania Trump joined then-President Trump, then-Vice President Mike Pence, then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley in the Situation Room as U.S. forces conducted a raid that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
