White House press office was unaware of Trump's overnight statement promising "orderly transition"

White House press office was unaware of Trump's overnight statement promising "orderly transition"

From CNN's Jeremy Diamond

President Trump's statement overnight acknowledging that there will be an "orderly transition" was released on Twitter by the President's aide Dan Scavino without the knowledge of the White House press office, a White House official said.

Nearly six hours after Scavino posted the statement on Twitter, the White House has yet to release the statement on official White House letterhead. It has so far only been posted on Scavino's personal Twitter page.

White House press officials woke up Thursday morning to find out about the statement via the news, just like everyone else, the official said.

It remains unclear whether the White House will release the statement via official channels.

Starting to unwind things and cause confusion. Trump must be coming out of sedation and yelling "WHO DID THIS??"

The full comment is actually an incitement to more violence and feeding more lies to his idiot followers!
