Raw Story

Ousted White House press secretary Sean Spicer caused a panic among Trump advisors, who "flipped out" over worries he may have admitted a violation of a federal court ruling according to a new report in POLITICO.
Reporters Annie Karni and Josh Gerstein report on outreach they received after an oral history was published by "GQ Magazine' on Tuesday.

"After the interview was published, four people who worked with Spicer on the campaign and at the RNC reached out to POLITICO to express surprise that he highlighted his presence on the fifth floor - which served as the nerve center of the campaign's poll-monitoring operation and data war room that day - because party employees were given strict instructions prohibiting them from going there," POLITICO noted.

The "unfinished" fifth floor of Trump Tower was the "war room" according to Trump national field coordinator and battleground states director Matt Mowers, as recounted to "GQ" in the oral history.

"A group of us gathered on the fifth floor of Trump Tower in what could be described as basically an over-sized utility room.
Stepien's going through key counties, Florida in particular - Broward, Miami Dade, southern Florida...What's in, what's not...I would say that at least through 7:30, 8 o'clock, it was a very cautiously optimistic view," is the statement from Spicer that so alarmed the Trump team.

All four sources that reached out to POLITICO to dispute Spicer's account remembered seeing large signs reminding RNC staffers to keep out.
Sean Spicer was the communications director for the RNC.
