Spokeswoman: First Lady Will Watch TV Channel of Her Choice

by Associated Press

   Melania Trump's spokeswoman says the first lady will watch whatever she
   wants on TV.

   Stephanie Grisham, the spokeswoman, was responding Wednesday to a New
   York Times report that President Donald Trump was unhappy his wife's
   television aboard Air Force One was tuned to CNN -- and not Fox News
   Channel -- during their recent trip to Europe.

   The Times said Trump raged at his staff for breaking a rule that each
   trip begin tuned to Fox.

   Trump is an avid Fox viewer who regularly disparages CNN as "fake
   news."

   Grisham also batted away questions about TV news programs airing a
   brief audio recording of Trump and his longtime personal lawyer
   discussing plans to pay for a former Playboy model's story of an
   alleged 2006 affair with then-citizen Trump.
