White House spokesman Raj Shah to step down temporarily to focus on Supreme Court battle

White House spokesman Raj Shah is taking a leave of absence from his position to work full time on overseeing the communications effort associated with confirming President Trump’s upcoming Supreme Court pick, the White House said Monday.

Shah, who serves as principal deputy press secretary under Sarah Huckabee Sanders, “will oversee communications, strategy and messaging coordination with Capitol Hill allies,” Sanders said in a statement.

The move is part of a broader push by the White House to rapidly confirm a replacement for retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy before the court’s new term begins in October. Trump has said he plans to announce a nominee on July 9.
