A campaign official said that shows that air interviews with her have been instructed not to use her White House title. However, Fox News introduced her as both the other day. nytimes.com/live/2020/10/2…
When Obama was president and running in 2012 Carney would brief reporters in a WH capacity while Psaki would do it in a campaign capacity. They made a point of keeping the separation nytimes.com/live/2020/10/2…
In the interview, Ms. McEnany did not say she was speaking in a position as a campaign adviser. Nor did the campaign or the White House ever announce that she was serving in both roles. nytimes.com/live/2020/10/2…
Here's a good @AmyEGardner piece on the Psaki/Carney traveling gaggles in 2012 washingtonpost.com/politics/decis…

NEW - An expert hired by the Trump campaign in its arbitration against Omarosa recommended that she pay for a $846k ad campaign to "remedy" impressions she's left in "voters'" minds nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
The expert, Eric Rose, made the recommendation in a lengthy report filed last week. Campaign finance experts say if Omarosa did it it would be an illegal in-kind contribution nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
Omarosa lawyer John Phillips: "This isn’t free speech. It’s speech with a gun to your head.” nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
