press secretary sarah sanders. thank you for joining us this morning. >> good morning. >> you said last night that the president is completely exonerated, no collusion, no obstruction, but robert mueller explicitly wrote that the report does not exonerate the president and we showed that quote where he lays out that he could not clear the president of obstruction of justice. >> he couldn't but he left that decision up to the attorney general and he made it. there was no collusion which is what the entire investigation was supposed to be about. it was to determine whether or not the president or anybody on his campaign had colluded with russia. and not only did they determine that the president hadn't and that his campaign didn't but they determined that no american had colluded with russia. and i find it astonishing that the media isn't thrilled about the fact that no american colluded with a foreign government. it's almost -- you watched over the last 24, 48 hours as members of the democrat party and liberal media

and what's fascinating about it is that sarah sanders admitted it was unfounded under oath. now from the report, sanders told this office that her reference to hearing from, quote, countless members of the fbi, unquote, was a, quote, slip of the tongue, unquote. she also recalled that her statement, in a separate press interview, the rank and file fbi agents had lost confidence in comey was a comment she made, quote, in the heat of the moment, end quote, that was not founded on anything, according to the mueller report. so it was two slips of the tongue on two consecutive days about the same subject, but sarah sanders did at least admit under oath that it was factually unfounded, which makes what she said just this morning on abc's "good morning america" so remarkable and yet, given her record, kind of so predictable. >> actually, if you look at what i said, i said, the slip of the tongue was in using the word "countless," but there were a number of fbi, both former and current that agreed with the president's decision. and they've continued to speak out and say that and send

listen to what sarah sanders said at a briefing in may of 2017. >> what's your response to these ranknd file fbi agents who disagree with your contention that they lost faith in director comey? >> we heard from countless members of the fbi that say very different things. >> special counsel writes that sarah sanders admitted to his investigators that she had no basis for making that remark, which she tried to frame as a slip of the tongue made in the heat of the moment. >> this morning, that is still sarah sanders' position. here's sanders on "good morning america." >> special counsel writes that those comments were not founded on anything. that's when you talked to the special counsel about when you were facing criminal penalties if you didn't tell the truth. now you're trying to walk away from it. why can't you acknowledge what you said then was not true? >> i said that the word i used countless and i also said if you look at what's in quotations from me, it's that and that it was in the heat of the moment, meaning it wasn't a scripted talking point. >> we're joined by cnn white hous

sarah sanders coming up with a new line of attack. she's arguing that members of congress are not smart enough to examine the presidential's returns. >> i don't think congress, particularly not this group of congressmen and women are smart enough to look through the thousands of pages that i would assume that president trump's taxes will be. my guess is most of them don't do their own taxes and i don't trust them to look through the decades of success the president has and determine anything. >> the congressional research service says there are ten accountants in this congress right here on your screen, the list includes two senators, eight house members, the comments come after richard neil ratcheted up his demands for access to the president's tax returns and sent a letter to the irs commissioner over the weekend and stressed that the law gives congress a right to see the president's tax returns. if the irs doesn't respond by his new april 23rd deadline, the dispute will likely end up in federal court. >> sarah sanders also tackling

really that audience of one. >> sean spicer knew it, sarah sanders knows it.onal relationship with the press corps is gone, at least for this presidency. this is sort of an abnormal, certainly president by tradition standards, and that having a relationship where you know that you have the credibility and that kind of honest relationship, honest broker relationship with the press corps, at least it hasn't been the animating thing for the person at the podium. >> the proof is in the podium. look at some of the numbers. it's been 41 days since the last on-camera briefing at the white house, and only two briefings in the last 100 days. so to your point, do you think they've just stopped trying? >> i think they don't see a real point to these press briefings. that they believe that reporters are sitting there looking to either catch them in lies, catch them in misstatements or just sort of hammer what they see as kind of a liberal agenda. i don't think see they any point to it. and the reality is that credibility is now sort of post mueller report just strained th

sarah sanders not just this incident. another incident which hasn't gotten as much coverage is that which was newly learned in the report. the press office at the white house wanted to put out a statement claiming that rod rosenstein was the one who wanted mueller fired and he's the one behind it all. that was just not true. rosenstein had to say it them i will tell truth. if asked. >> that episode was sort of comedy of inside the white house. trump is going to fire him. and learns rosenstein didn't like comey and write a memo. they use that as cover. and tried to get rosenstein to be the face of it and he said no way. trump says his team messed up all of this and he was going to do the interview and straighten it out. and the statement in that interview that he did it fired comey because of russia. was highly incriminating. i think if you take a step back, we learned this white house lies like they breathe. and the only way to pin them down is when you have the force of law enforcement there. and the threat of criminal p

sarah sanders said she's not concerned what's in the report. g >> they couldn't make a determination which is mueller's way legally of saying, we can't find anything. we're going to leave that up to the process which is the attorney general. he has made a decision, so we consider this to be case closed. there was no collusion, there was no obstruction, which i don't know how you can interpret that any other way than total exoneration. >> joining me now, democratic representative from illinois, congressman mike quigley on the house intel committee. good to see you. i'm curious your reaction of what you just heard from the press secretary. i'm assuming you don't really agree with everything she had to say in terms of that conclusive wording. >> look, she knows as well as we do what the public record is and the extraordinary extent of collusion that took place and the extraordinary extent of obstruction that took place. i believe the special counsel is the person who follows the rules. and i believe he set a very high bar. criminals' conspiracies

you saw what sarah sanders said about members of congress.rs of congress not being smart enough. >> now she clarified it's democrats not smart enough. pull up the number of congress people who are actually accountants, though, a lot of red, both of the senators on the list are republicans. what do you make of this attack from the white house, does it make sense? >> it's predictable. look, what the president and his team always do is to go after the investigator, they are either corrupt, illegitimate. in this case, they're not smart. so it's a very standard attack. it's not true. congress has all the expertise that it needs, which it will show if it gets the tax returns, but it is part of the trump playbook. >> doesn't it remind everyone, it was because he was under audit. now it's not because he's under audit, it's because they're too dumb. >> keconsistency is not somethi the white house cares about. >> throwing things out there and see if they stick, the so called sanctuary cities, moving migrants there, this is the president's approach to p

we are seeing this nation talk about the credibility of sarah huckabee sanders at the poeds y -- podiumclamoring continues, something will happen. i hear the white house is upset about this moment, these conversations about sarah huckabee sanders and her tenure at the podium. here is the issue. under oath, she acknowledged she lied. under oath. that's not the only lie that has been told from that sacred room to the american public and the world. the reason why this is so important is because everything is in the balance at the white house. we are all touched by what happens and said said from the white house. war and peace, life and death are written and spoken from that podium or from the oval office. she's the president's mouthpiece. her credibility is shot. we got that one piece from mueller. we understand that. also, there's a list of things and more. i'll detail another one about the payment to stormy daniels. that was a lie. also that propaganda video against our colleague jim acosta. a propaganda video against jim acosta. this is the united states not russia or china. credibility

for some time we just haven't heard from sarah sanders in the white house press corp.onally come and talk to us in the driveway here after doing an interview on fox news or that sort of thing. and typically she would take a few questions and then head inside. we've only had two white house press briefings in the last 100 days which is a pretty staggering data point, i think, for somebody who is a taxpayer funded public servant, somebody working on behalf of the taxpayers in the role of informing the public and the press and i just think at this point what you're going to hear over the next several days until sarah deals with it, i think in a more effective way than this morning, just sort of shouting at news anchors asking legitimate questions, i think this conversation about whether or not sarah should continue is just something we're going to be hearing about for the -- until she really deals with this forcefully and she hasn't done that at this point. >> her own contention that countless fbi agents were reaching out to her, a., highly unusual if fbi agents were call

and sarah sanders is not the disease, she's a symptom of this wasting disease.t a mouthpiece for depravity. and nothing in our history prepared us for this. even ron zigler, nixon's press secretary was relatively speaking a straight shooter. but she's not there to serve the interests of the public. she is there as a political operative to spin and lie and change the subject and deflect from the literally thousands of other lies and all sorts of ghastly behavior we've seen under this administration. this woman is an eager beaver. she's all over covering up for the excesses and worse of the trump regime. >> and i guess the question is thrown back to the media is what should the press do? because there is this ongoing debate whether or not the press shows up to press conferences by these people or invite them on their shows to be interviewed. what do you think? >> well, i would never have her on my program. there's no point going through the exercise or there's seldom a point i would say of going through the exercise of having a guest who you know in advance is goi

tonight white house press secretary sarah sanders isnd defeg her credibility.eon harris is in the newsroom with that angle. >> let me walk you through this. this goes back to the days immediately following the firing of fbi director james comey. here's how it went down. the day after theiring of comey, sarah sanders claimed the white house had talked with countless members of the fbi who had lost confidence in comey. the very next day andrew mccabe refuted that claim in senate testimony. >> is it accurate that the rank and file no longer supported director comey? >> no, sir, that is not accurate. i can tell you also that director comey enjoyed broad support within the fbi. >> now, then, sarah sanders was pressed on this matter. next day at the white house briefing and from the podium she said she'd heard from, in her words, countless members of the fbi who supported comey's firing. but when the special counsel's office asked her about this, she called that comment a slip o the tongue and she said she made a similar statement, quote, in the heat of the momen tha

given all this and given the pattern do you think sarah sanders should resign?y as a general rule that nobody should serve in that job or should be allowed to serve in that job who has play tantly lied to the public and done so in a way that's making fun of the job. i don't know that she has that much power. i think there is a lot of power the white house press corps has. if the president trusts her, he doesn't prepare her to provide information that's of interest to the public. no. i think she should resign. the press has the power here and the white house to not take what she says and what she needs as fact and to challenge it. they have a responsibility to do it for the public, too. >> they are not taking what she says. it is helpful to have a reminder that taxpayers pay her salary to lie to them. >> that matters. >> if you are not cool with that, it's just important to know that's the business arrangement happening now. >> if you're not down with that. >> you shouldn't be down with it. >> what did you unearth in the wayback machine? >> we went to the cnn arc

as a communications professional, this should be career ending for sarah huckabee sande sanders. she should never set foot on that podium again. as a comes person, and amanda, you know, all you have is your word and what you say. and the fact that on more than one occasion, this is just the occasion that we're highlighting today, but there are more than one occasions sarah sanders did not tell the truth from the podium, namely when she said that president trump knew nothing about the payments to stormy daniels, when, in fact, we authorized and signed even one of the checks. she would not be able to continue on this capacity. it is really just a middle finger, if you will, for lack of a better term to the respect that should come from that podium and so to all the folks that have come before her. >> i think their lies have cost the taxpayers -- these lies have cost the taxpayers $25 million. the truth is, there was attempted collusion. there was attempted obstruction. and because they lied and lied and lied at every turn, we had to go have this 22-months-long investigation. this r

during that time sarah sanders who was deposit press secretary had heard from countless, in her words pleased that trump fired comby and we know she admitted to the special counsel it was not true. here she is. >> what led you and the white house to believe that he had lost confidence in the rank and file of the fbi when the acting director said it is the opposite. >> could speak to my own personal experience i've heard from countless members of the fbi that are grateful and thankful for the president's zbigs decision and we may have to agree to disagree and some people that are disappointed but i've heard from a large number of individuals and that is just myself and i don't know that many people in the fbi. >> well, according to mueller report, the truth is that trump decided to fire comey before rod rosenstein was even informed. but the white house tried to get rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general to lie and take the blame. that night the white house press office said the white house wanted to put out a statement saying it was rosenstein's idea to fire comey and he said he w

sarah sanders, we just her defending herself saying, i'm sorry, i was not a robot.ow does this wash ahead to the next election? >> i think it just affects voters in a partisan way. republicans don't seem to care about the lying, or they don't think that the president is lying. they think he's authentic and that the full investigation was a waste of time and that sarah sanders is just doing her job. i think that's one of the reasons why she's lasted in her position so long. it's that she has been willing to go to bat for the president and say whatever he has wanted her to say. on the flip side, the democrats are absolutely irate at how common it is for sarah sanders to just lie. she just does it with such ease and frequency to a level we haven't really seen before. so, the question is, how does this sit with independents. it's not really clear h mh looking ahead to 2020. if the democrats focus on this too much. it might back fire. they might need to really just focus on what they have to offer, instead of focusing entirely on, you know, the line, the line. because it

one day after the president fired fbi director james comey, white house press secretary sarah sanders told reporters that comey no longer had the confidence of mr. trump and other people. >> bipartisan members of congress made it clear that they had lost confidence in director comey. and most importantly, the rank and file of the fbi had lost confidence in their director. i can speak to my own personal experience. i've heard from countless members of the fbi that are grateful and thankful for the president's decision. >> according to mueller's report, sanders told investigators countless members of the fbi was a slip of the tongue. we spoke with the president's chief spokeswoman a short time ago. >> you repeated the claims, a slip of the tongue, several times. what exactly did you mean to say, because you appeared to be reading, you appeared to be reading those comments on several occasions. what did you mean to say? >> look, i've acknowledged that the word countless was a slip of the tongue. but it's no secret that a number of fbi, both current and former agreed with the president's

house press secretary sarah sanders. sara, just your general reaction to all of this first. you're being attacked today also. >> i think that the white house is in a great position. and what we've been saying for the last 2 1/2 years is finally i think totally been vindicated, the president is completely exonerated, no collusion, no obstruction. i find it absolutely outrageous that people like jake tapper you showed a clip a few minutes ago of him saying i can't believe barr has said no collusion so many times when they have been saying that there was collusion every single day all day for the last 2 1/2 years. it's outrageous the way that the media and democrats have behaved. and fanning ly -- frankly, the meltdown we saw unfold on tv today is truly astonishing, a great day for america. not just because it's a great day for the president, but it's a good thing when can say that not just the president, not just his campaign, but no american is involved in co-lewding with the foreign government and a sad day in america when democrats and members of the liberal media are sad i

when someone something as stupid as sarah sanders said, are we supposed to analyze it like it's a real political comment? >> i'm not sure. >> i feel this way during the trump administration. they deal with the economy. the idea that they can't understand a tax return is so ridiculous. >> there are ten of them. there are ten qualified, certified accountants who deal with tax issues >> the idea that it's a serious argument is very hard for me to take seriously. >> why is the white house making the argument. that was a calculated answer by sanders. you don't just think it up >> i think it was pretty off the cuff there. >> you do? >> i think it's clear she didn't have a good answer. maybe the way to react in terms of analyzing it is to call out that it was a ludicrous response. the white house right now when it comes to trump's tax returns are struggling to come up with a reason they shouldn't release these. every president for 40 years has released his tax returns. there is a law that says it. to make sure there were no conflicts of interest with private business, private life. the law sa

. >> sarah sanders was doubling down that we know now wasn't true. she was hearing in personalac co with all sorts of f.b.i. agents were telling herhat they were not happy with james comey. she told the special couple and went on tv today. robert: why is that, is that because the whole culture of loyalty is she under pressure? >> i think theyep want to their jobs. and they are continuing to lie while not having any political problems with that. there weres issth the midterm, that was largely on democrats to talk about health care. 2020 a will be completely different story. maybe people will look at thisp and the president is trying to get him to lie. i was talking to a democratic consultant is he going to get away with it, and the answer is yes. robert: how does the white house defend that? >> the president didn't dictate that miss lding. e was told that he did not done that. and she later learned that the president's attorney to the special counsel that he actually dictated the statement. that is the statement she is getting bad information and fasc

sarah sanders has said we consider this to be case closed. that is a direct quote. are they justified in thinking that? >> i'm not sure they're justified in thinking that. i think that's the position of the white house, but that's certainly not the position of democrats. i think you're going to continue to see pushback from the democrats on that, probably for some time. >> so if the white house believes it's case closed, why is trump still hammering on the dishonest and treasonous, fraudulent and phony russian witch hunt? >> number one, he feels that the conclusions that attorney general bar laid out are the ones he cares about the most. the rest of the world and no doubt the white house as well is curious to see what's in that report. he feels it's case closed because of the top line headlines that came out a few weeks ago. that's what he's going to continue to be focused on. that's weight his supporters will be focused on. the rest of the world and democrats will be looking for the details in the report. >> on one hand, laura, he's talking about this witch hunt, o

amy klobuchar has just tweeted back to sarah sanders. she tweeted try me.t that the ways and means committee knows how to look at it. >> if that's the case, if they are not smart enough, then what do they have to worry about? absolutely nothing. >> they are smart enough to write the tax laws. i think as amy klobuchar says, try me. the reality is i believe at some point the committee will see the taxes. i believe that will happen. let the chips fall where they may at that point. >> kimberly, you are our lawyer of counsel here. being a lawyer, what about the counter arguments between steve mnuchin and the others on the tax writing committees who say that the law is very clear that those committees should have access to anybody's taxinizecluding the president of the united states as long as they keep them confidential. >> i think that is right. the tax code is pretty clear on that. that section of it speaks very clear. it says shall produce the documents. it is very difficult. i think that's why you are seeing the white house largely mounting a political respo

yesterday white house press secretary sarah sanders defended the president. >> i find her comments toe absolutely disgraceful and unbefitting of a member of congress, and i think it's a good thing that the president is calling her out for those comments, and the big question is why aren't the democrats doing it as well. >> sanders says mr. trump is wishing no ill will toward the congresswoman. >>> the "washington post" reports sarah sanders says she doesn't believe democrats are smart enough to examine thousands of pages of president trump's tax returns. the house democrats have given the trump deadline of april 23rd to turn over the returns. mr. trump has refuse under audit. sanders added the democrats' request for the return is all about political partisanship. >>> our partners at bbc report a world war ii-era bomb was detonated in germany. it was discovered by firefighters in a frankfurt river last tuesday during a training exercise. about 600 people living nearby were evacuated from their homes yesterday. bomb disposal experts detonated the device sending water into the river, jet

okay, okay. >> okay. >> that was sarah sanders. good evening, everyone. of what sanders said to mueller's investigators. sanders told this office that her reference to hearing from countless members of the fbi was a slip of the tongue. she also recalled her statement in a separate press interview that rank and file fbi agents had lost confidence in comey was a comment she made in the heat of the moment that was not founded on anything. so she literally made it up, not founded on anything. >> made it up. >> does she have any credibility at this point is this. >> he does not and yet she does remain in the job. i know earlier tonight april ryan said she should be fired. the odds of the president doing that, however, seem slim. she's out there defending the president at all costs. this case proves, as if we needed anymore proof that lying is the through line of the trump presidency. it's not criminal, it's not illegal, it's just shameful. i really hope in the days ahead we really think more about the morality and the ethics of what's been exposed here today. >
