Has anyone come up with a definite answer regarding the identity of

the woman who tried to prise the microphone from Acosta's hand? Was she Drumpf's $130K/yr. Hope Hicks look-alike, the Press Office's $130K/yr. Hope Hicks look-alike or an Intern Hope Hicks look-alike?

Inquiring minds and all that.

I recall reading she was a 130k/year deputy press secretary, but everything subsequent to that refers to her as an intern.

Anyone?

Rachel, however, mentioned a name and said she was Sanders's deputy and not an intern.

She is a deputy press secretary, not an intern. My guess, she is in her middle late twenties, if not early thirties. The White House is lying about her title, but lying is what I expect from that group.

But since then, at least two alternate sources (both of whom should have it right) referred to her as "intern" so I don't know.

In the meantime, I suppose "person who keeps mic from dropping" will work. I can't get over the 130k salary, if accurate.
