Unsurprisingly, Spicer is ducking the gig today:
One day after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Sean Spicer will not be conducting the daily White House press briefing. In his place will be Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the deputy White House press secretary, who previously filled in for Sean Spicer on Friday, May 5th. So where is Sean Spicer today? Why isn’t he the one briefing the press?
Spicer told The New York Times on Tuesday that he will not be delivering the press briefing because he has Navy Reserve duty, which had previously been scheduled for today. However, as pointed out by CNN, Spicer’s Navy Reserve duty can be rescheduled when need be.
