The press secretary won't be in the press secretary's office in Donald Trump's new White House.
The media operation will be revamped, and a deputy chief of staff will be moving into the spacious office with a wood-burning fireplace.

Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to remove special counsel Jack Smith from his post and either decline to release Smith's upcoming report detailing his investigations into the president-elect or hand over the matter to Trump's incoming administration, according to a letter released Monday.
