He was the White House press secretary from 1998-2000 in President Bill Clinton's administration. (CNN) It started on a brisk Saturday in January 2017 with an angry press secretary, Sean Spicer, looking straight into the camera and lying to the American people on behalf of Donald Trump. Spicer stood at a White House lectern and lied simply to feed the new President's ego and ease his limitless insecurity. Fast forward to this week, when Spicer's successor Kayleigh McEnany, on Fox News, deflected a question about the Trump administration sharing intelligence with the Biden transition team. Now it should go without saying you can't be a White House staffer and a campaign adviser at the same time, but in the Trump Administration, that's where we are.
