escalated their war of words over allegations of Russian interference in the
2016 election.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest hit back at senior Trump adviser
Kellyanne Conway after she accused him of making inappropriate comments in
stating that Trump encouraged Russian hacking of his political opponents.
“It is just a fact that the Republican nominee for president was
encouraging Russia to hack his opponent because he believed it would help
his campaign,” Earnest told reporters Thursday.
“I’m not trying to be argumentative, it’s not a controversial statement,
” he continued. “I am trying to acknowledge a basic fact. All of you saw
it, it was not in dispute.”
During a Thursday morning appearance on “Fox and Friends,” Conway slammed
Earnest for suggesting that Trump was aware before Election Day that Russia
was behind a series of hacks on Democratic political groups.
"That is incredibly disappointing to hear from the podium of the White House
press secretary because he ... essentially stated that the president-elect
had knowledge of this, maybe even fanned the flames,” she said. |
