Former Speaker Newt Gingrich on Thursday dismissed speculation he is in the mix for White House chief of staff, adding that President Trump should select someone who is willing to stand up to him.
Gingrich on "Fox & Friends" denied he was at the White House on Wednesday to talk about the job after his appearance sparked speculation.
"No, it’s actually funny," Gingrich said, explaining that he was there with his wife to see Christmas decorations.
"I was there as an American citizen looking at one of the most famous of American buildings," he added.
