The Jan. 6 rebellion prompted the press secretary to leave the White House.
Melania Trump, then-first lady, was reportedly asked by Grisham if she would speak out against the riot. She reportedly refused, replying: "No."
Grisham reportedly said she was hurt by the reply and sent a text to the first lady. She then resigned as her chief-of-staff and press secretary.
According to reports, the women have not spoken to each other since that time.
Liz Harrington, a spokesperson for the former president, said last week to The Washington Post that Grisham’s memoir was "another pitiful attempt at cashing in on the President’s strength and selling lies about the Trump family."
Harrington went on to call Grisham "a disgruntled ex-employee" and stated that publishers who had greenlit the wave criticizing the administration "should be ashamed of their actions in preying upon desperate people who see short term gain from writing a book full falsehoods."
