John Fredericks in the News: Trump Spokeswoman Says Obama Aides Left Behind Mean Notes
The Washington Post — White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Tuesday that Obama administration aides left behind taunting notes for incoming Trump officials when they handed over their offices in 2017. Numerous Obama aides denounced the accusation as fiction.
“We came into the White House. I’ll tell you something, every office was filled with Obama books and we had notes left behind that said ‘you will fail,’ ‘you aren’t going to make it,’” Grisham told conservative radio show host John Fredericks in an interview Tuesday.

Some high-profile Obama administration officials flatly denied the claim, including former national security adviser Susan Rice.
