The White House on Friday sought to downplay the number of staffers whose jobs have been derailed by their prior cannabis use.
A Daily Beast article published Thursday reported that dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program because of admissions of prior marijuana use.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that fewer than a half dozen people had fully lost their jobs after disclosing marijuana use.
The bottom line is this: of the hundreds of people hired, only five people who had started working at the White House are no longer employed as a result of this policy, she wrote in a two-part message on Twitter.
