Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham made an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” promoting her new book “I’ll Take Your Questions Now.”

During the interview, John Berman is one of many to ask Grisham why she waited so long to speak up about the Trump administration.

“If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t have been there, but obviously, hindsight is 20/20. Obviously, I want to sell books, but I want to sell books so that people can read the entire story and see the context,” Grisham said.

“Again, I was a loyalist and I was a believer and I defended them fiercely. If I can convince five or six other people who were like me that this is not natural and this is not normal and this is a cult-like environment and if you can just step out and clear your head, maybe I can change things.”

CNN's @JohnBerman with a great question to former Trump WH Press Sec. Stephanie Grisham:

"Now you are saying you regret it. But the question is, are you saying you regret it to sell books? Do you really feel bad? If you had to do it all over again, would you do it differently?" pic.twitter.com/nXDctJKa1a

Furthermore, Berman asked whether Grisham regretted serving under former President Donald Trump or was only interested in benefiting from her previous roles work on Trump’s 2016 campaign before heading to the White House with him, working in the East and West Wings.

“I made a lot of mistakes in there. I also think that we mitigated a lot of disasters, some of us who did stay,” Grisham said.

Former first lady Melania Trump had her office issued a statement regarding Grisham’s book.

“The intent behind this book is obvious. It is an attempt to redeem herself after a poor performance as press secretary, failed personal relationships, and unprofessional behavior in the White House. Through mistruth and betrayal, she seeks to gain relevance and money at the expense of Mrs. Trump,” the statement said.

Dan Abrams: Someone in Donald Trump’s Inner Circle Could See Charges

“For the first time, I think there’s a real possibility a member of Donald Trump’s inner circle could face criminal charges related to Jan. 6,” Abrams said on Thursday’s edition of “Dan Abrams Live.”

The hearings into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol remain ongoing, and following the raid on former Trump Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark this week, anchor Dan Abrams has a bold belief.

Abrams, the founder of Mediaite and anchor on NewsNation, considers that for the first time, someone from former President Donald Trump’s inner circle could see criminal charges.

“It’s generally seemed to me that the criminal inquiry into Trump and his inner circle in connection with Jan. 6 wasn’t going anywhere. I’m talking about what I actually think is happening, that’s all.”

Abrams stated the latest hearing and the Wednesday raid on Clark are what altered his view on whether anyone could end up seeing charges.

“What we learned today changed my analysis. That’s because federal investigators just raided the home of former trump department of justice lawyer Jeffrey Clark,” Abrams added.

“He was the guy heading the justice department’s environmental division who Donald Trump tried to put in as acting attorney general could see was apparently the only one within the DOJ willing to support the effort to overturn the 2020 election.”

Finally, Abrams conveyed that the raid’s timing before the hearing could examine Clark’s role could lead to something significant when facing jail time.

“To get authorization to raid his home now, the day before the Jan. 6 committee held a hearing examining Jeffrey Clark’s role in trying to overturn the election, suggest to me that they believe they suddenly could have something big,” Abrams concluded.

News Media Reacts to Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade

There was no shortage of news media reaction when the official overturning of Roe v. Wade came down, some celebrating it while others shared concern.

In a decision many already knew was coming following the leaked draft, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, overturned Roe v. Wade, which is the landmark enactment that established the constitutional right to abortion.

Since 1973, women have been permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy in the United States; however, now the decision on this matter will return to the states, with a good portion expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion.

There was no shortage of news media reaction when the official ruling came down, some celebrating it while others shared concern for what’s to come a post-Roe v. Wade United States.

Roe v Wade has been OVERTURNED!

This is a victory for 63 million innocent babies who have been killed – lost generations, who could not speak for themselves.

A victory for LIFE!!!

Again: It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

This is no longer a court. It is a Minority imposing its religious beliefs on the Majority: our House of Lords; Superlegislature; Theocracy.

Where possible, states must ignore its invalid edicts.

Whether you are pro-abortion or not, this was the right decision legally. You may not like it, but you were lied to by the Roe & Casey justices who told you abortion was a constitutional right. This Court set things straight & now it’s where it belongs: in the hands of the ppl.

Something that's hard to convey to people who don't walk in their shoes: there are a lot of women walking around today who aren't just sad. They're frightened. They're terrified.

Apologies. I’ve been in a funeral the past couple of hours & am just now able to read the opinions. Initial reports were 6-3, but that was only to uphold MS law. Roberts didn’t sign on to overturning of Roe, which means conservative justices still have targets on their backs.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 24, 2022

The Supreme Court overturned Roe, 50 years of precedent, with a 6-3 hard-right majority which includes 5 justices appointed by GOP presidents who lost the popular vote, 2 credibly accused of sexual misconduct, & 1 in a totally stolen seat.

No wonder there’s a legitimacy crisis.

I'm old enough to remember when Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh put their hand on the bible and told us that Roe was settled law that wouldn't be altered.
— Chip Franklin.com (@chipfranklin) June 24, 2022

Joe Biden making clear he wants to run on abortion. "This fall, Roe is on the ballot," he says. Good luck with that 2022 strategy.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 24, 2022

This must be the most pro-death “pro-life” Supreme Court in history. More guns, more death penalty — and more babies? I guess with all the killing, we’re going to need more people? Is that the rationale? Just awful. #Roe #abortion
— Van Jones (@VanJones68) June 24, 2022

It's not like the conservative movement has been hiding its intentions. We've spent 40 years being open and transparent about moving the Court right and people seem freaked out we actually did it. And all that means is you gotta work at the state level now.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 24, 2022

conservative legislatures will attempt to keep residents from traveling to other states to obtain abortions; will try to keep companies from providing out of state abortion benefits; will try to punish out of state doctors who provide abortions to their residents
— b-boy bouiebaisse (@jbouie) June 24, 2022

This is a state’s rights issue but now we are in for the 2 extremes, neither of which is good. On demand is ridiculous and disgusting BUT banning is counterproductive. You’re not gonna stop abortions, you’re just gonna stop safe ones. SAFE, LEGAL, RARE. #RoeVsWade

Another reason to be cautious about making immediate political predictions: A lot of people didn't know this was about to happen or realize what effects would be, including the lower-engagement people who are likelier to be swing/infrequent voters.
