Newman told GMA host Michael Strahan that she sat down with President Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly and resigned from her position as assistant to the president and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison.
“We had a very candid conversation,” she said. “I wanted to make the one-year mark … and then get back to my life.”
