White House press secretary Jen Psaki is in discussions with MSNBC, a division of Comcast Corporation's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) NBCUniversal, to join the cable network after she leaves the White House this spring.
What Happened: Axios, citing an “unnamed source close to the matter,” reported that talks are ongoing and no contracts were signed. Psaki is reportedly consulting with the White House counsel's office regarding her exit and future work to review that her actions do not run afoul of federal ethics and legal compliance tenets, and the cable channel is also working with its compliance attorneys to ensure it complies with government regulations.
