UPDATE: Representatives from both CNN's State of the Union and CBS's Face the Nation refuted Grisham's claims that they turned down an appearance from a White House official. A Fox News spokesperson also pointed out that Grisham inaccurately said Fox Business was the only network to accept a White House spokesperson because they do not have a Sunday talk show.

--

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed a slew of networks declined to book a White House official for Sunday programming after a good news week for President Trump.

Grisham, in a Friday night appearance on Hannity, acknowledged the White House will not get much airtime to discuss the State of the Union address, the president getting acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial, and a strong jobs report.

"I have got to tell you there is not going to be one White House official on any of the Sunday shows this weekend. Only Fox Business is taking a White House official to talk about what an amazing week this president has had, and I do find that timing very, very suspect," she explained.

"Hang on," host Sean Hannity said. "You are saying they are not even inviting — they don’t want to invite anybody from the White House? Why? Because they would point out that the president was completely vindicated?"

Grisham said every network but Fox Business "turned us down," adding, "We offered up senior White House officials to every Sunday show, and they turned us down and even canceled — your own network canceled me. So, not one Sunday show is going to have us on."

Fox Business does not have a Sunday talk show, but Fox News does. The White House spokeswoman is not scheduled to appear on Fox News this Sunday, although Trump will have representation with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo, who is a Fox Business anchor.



While most other networks aren't featuring a White House official, many are bringing on Trump supporters. CBS's Face The Nation will have South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, as well as 2020 hopefuls Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. The two presidential candidates will also appear on Fox News Sunday, which airs Sunday mornings on the Fox broadcast network.

Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani will appear on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures.

ABC's This Week will also feature two Democratic presidential candidates; the only conservative on their guest list is former Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock, who is also a network contributor.
