Undated: Sean Michael Spicer[2]
(born September 23, 1971)[3]
is an American political aide who served as the twenty-eighth
White House Press Secretary and as
White House Communications Director under
President
Donald
Trump in 2017. Spicer was communications director of the
Republican National Committee from 2011 to 2017, and its chief strategist
from 2015 to 2017.[4]
During his tenure as White House press secretary, Spicer made a number of public
statements that were controversial and false,[5][6][7]
and he developed a contentious relationship with the
White House press corps.[8][9][10]
The first such instance occurred on January 21, 2017, the day following
Trump's inauguration. Spicer repeated the claim that crowds at
Trump's inauguration ceremony were the largest ever at such an event and
that the press had deliberately under-estimated the number of spectators.[11][12][13]
After this statement was widely criticized, Trump aide
Kellyanne Conway said that Spicer had presented what she called "alternative
facts" regarding the inauguration's attendance numbers.[14]
Spicer resigned as White House Press Secretary on July 21, 2017, although he
remained at the White House in an unspecified capacity until August 31.[15][16][17]

July 17: Prospects for White House Press
Secretary Sean Spicer are ... unclear. His contentious clashes with reporters at
the briefing-room podium became regular fodder for late-night comedians, and
he’s not held an on-camera press briefing since June 20. Spicer didn’t accompany
the president on his recent trip to France, while [principal deputy press
secretary Sarah Huckabee] Sanders rode with Trump aboard Air Force one.

July 17: White House press secretary Sean
Spicer contradicted a tweet earlier this morning from President Donald Trump and
said "there was nothing" that would cause anyone to think that the controversial
meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer had to do with anything
other than adoptions.
Hours earlier, Trump tweeted that most politicians would've gone to such a
meeting to collect opposition research, which is what Trump Jr. admitted the
meeting was supposed to be about.
Trump has admitted previously that Trump Jr. took the meeting with the full
expectation that the Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, would provide him
with damaging information on soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton.

July 17: The subject line of the
back-and-forth between [Trump, Jr.. and publicist Rob Goldstone] was "Russia -
Clinton - private and confidential," and Trump Jr. was promised incriminating
information on Hillary Clinton from a "Russian government attorney" that was
"part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," according to the
emails.
"If it is what you say I love it," Trump Jr. wrote.
