kristen welker, has the white house responded to any of this? >> they haven't, craig. in fact, the last time we had the chance to ask press secretary sean spicer earlier this week about russia-related questions, for the first time, he referred those questions to the president's outside counsel. of course, the president has been on twitter throughout the week talking about this, calling the investigation a witch hunt. spicer is going to brief today again. we'll have a chance to put some of those questions to him. ok, this is increasingly a controversy that is embroiling this white house. they're setting up a war room to try to deal with some of these headlines. the fact that megyn kelly had the chance to ask president putin those questions today will undoubtedly raise these issues to the floor once again. this is a controversy they can't get away from, but their strategy is really to try to turn the conversation back to the issues they want to be talking about. that's why we have epa administrator pruitt briefing with sean spicer today. >> 1:30, the joint press briefing
