President Trump’s campaign committee announced Tuesday it has rehired former national spokeswoman Katrina Pierson to serve as a senior adviser of grassroots outreach.
Pierson was Trump’s first formal spokesperson after he launched his campaign in June 2015. She stayed on staff through the campaign, but later jumped to America First Policies.
On Monday, Trump’s personal assistant John McEntee was fired due to a problem with his background check. McEntee was also named on Tuesday to Trump’s campaign, which he previously served on during the 2016 election. McEntee will now work as a senior adviser for campaign operations.
“As we build out our operations for the 2018 mid-term elections and the 2020 re-election campaign, we are pleased to welcome back two outstanding members of our 2016 team,” Brad Parscale, Trump for President campaign manager, said in a statement. “We need the help of proven leaders such as Katrina and John to promote the President’s growing portfolio of achievements across the country.”
Pierson and McEntee will be based in Washington, D.C., and are scheduled to start their new positions in the next few days.
