Trump aide Ricardel 'no longer deserves' to serve: first lady's office

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. first lady Melania Trump has asked that the White House sever ties with deputy national security adviser Mira Ricardel, a spokeswoman for the first lady's office said on Tuesday. "It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she [Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House," said Stephanie Grisham, the spokeswoman. Grisham was responding to reports that President Donald Trump is moving to replace Ricardel, a top aide to John Bolton, after she feuded with Melania Trump.
