The White House responded to the damaging news that former campaign manager Paul Manafort has been indicted and a former foreign policy adviser flipped and is cooperating with law enforcement by turning up the pressure to investigate Hillary Clinton.
Video:
Huckabee Sanders was asked if Trump is confident that Congress will investigate Clinton. She answered, “I think that’s a question you’d have to ask Congress, but I think that there are enough reports and enough information out there that seems to suggest that it might not be a bad idea.”
Huckabee Sanders tried to spend the rest of the briefing distancing Trump from Manafort and George Papadopoulos.
It didn’t work.
The other half of the Trump strategy is to play up the dossier and demand an investigation of Hillary Clinton. Sarah Huckabee Sanders falsely claimed that the Trump campaign only took a meeting, while Clinton spent money to help the Russians spread fake news about Trump to influence the election.
It is a bizarro world defense that is completely devoid of facts. Trump is retreating back to a familiar strategy of blaming Hillary Clinton for his own activities. If this briefing was Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ first real test as press secretary, she failed miserably.
Huckabee Sanders couldn’t defend Trump, and the only thing she could come up with was faux outrage and a demand to investigate Clinton.
October 30 has been one of the worst scandal days for any president in history, and the White House isn’t going to get out of their Russia scandal by blaming Clinton.
