Former Obama staffers push back against White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham's claim that staffers left 'fail' notes for incoming Trump officials. Grisham later said she was 'talking specifically' about 'the lower press office, nowhere else.'

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed Tuesday that Trump staffers found taunting notes left by Obama White House staffers when administrations changed hands in January 2017.

Her claim brought strong denials former White House staffers, many taking to Twitter to insist they never left any negative notes.Cody Keenan, an Obama speechwriter, tweeted that he left behind an iPhone charger, but that “nobody left unimaginative notes written at a sixth-grade level.” “Welcome to the small family of White House staffers, past and present,” Joanna Rosholm, former press secretary to former first lady Michelle Obama, wrote. “The bond we all share transcends politics.”

“On a White House stationary card, I reiterated my best wishes for his success in a job so crucial to the nation’s security. I offered to help him, if ever I could,” Rice wrote."I was talking specifically about our experience in the lower press office – nowhere else,” Grisham said. “I don’t know why everyone is so sensitive. At the time we saw it as kind of a prank, and something that always happened.
