Melania Slams Trump Adviser, Calls for Firing

Melania Trump issued a statement on Tuesday, through her office, calling for the firing of deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel. It is reported that Ricardel clashed with the First Lady's staff over seating arrangements during a trip to Africa and has leaked negative stories about the First Lady and her staff to the press.

According to Fox News:

The office of first lady Melania Trump said Tuesday deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel should be dismissed from her post, an extraordinary call that came as President Trump considers further shakeups to his Cabinet after the departure of Jeff Sessions as attorney general.

"It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that [Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump's communications director, said in a statement.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Ricardel had clashed with Melania Trump's staff over seating arrangements on a plane during the first lady's trip to Africa last month. The paper added that the first lady's office suspects Ricardel of leaking negative stories about the first lady and her staff.

The Journal also reported that Ricardel has sparred with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis over policy differences and staffing decisions. The Washington Post, citing three current and two former White House officials, reported that Ricardel had berated people in meetings and spread rumors about Mattis. The paper also reported that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has sought Ricardel's ouster for months.

Earlier reports indicated that Ricardel had been fired, and escorted off of the White House grounds. These reports were untrue and Ricardel is still working at the White House. However, the firing could be imminent based on the veracity of Mrs. Trump's claims.
