In February 2018,Gidley said that Trump was speaking "tongue-in-cheek" when he said it was "treasonous" for Democrats not to applaud him during the State of the Union address. [5] Later that February,after Special Counsel Mueller's investigation led to the indictments of a number of Russians for election interference,Gidley said that Democrats and the media had done more to create "chaos" in the United States than the Russian government.

In June 2020,Gidley resigned as deputy press secretary to serve as the national press secretary of the Trump reelection campaign. [11] He was succeeded as deputy press secretary by Brian R. Morgenstern,a former official in the United States Department of the Treasury. [12]
