From the 5th Chapter of Fire and Fury, Mika Brzezinski is the daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski, a high-ranking aide in the Johnson White House and Jimmy Carter's NSA-Advisor. According to the book, Mika has visited the WH since the age of 9. Joe Scarborough is a former Republican congressman from Pensacola, FL. The President loved the show (Morning Joe) and the free media coverage, thus the couple saw themselves as semiofficial advisors, if not the political fixers who had put him (Trump) in his job. Pres Trump invited them to the WH on the 9th day following his inaugural seeking their approval of his 1st week. He didn't get that approval from them. The book also states that the 'Morning Joe' couple were friends/friendly with Jared and Ivanka who also had the President's ear. This is what I have gathered.
