On GMA, White House press sec. Sarah Sanders sought to double down on past statements she made that special counsel Robert Mueller's team said were 'not founded on anything.' Watch the full interview:
"I said that the word I used countless, and also if you look in what's in quotations from me it's that and it was 'in the heat of moment,' meaning that it wasn't a scripted talking point. I'm sorry that I wasn't a robot like the Democratic Party," Sanders said.
I'm not denying that he had involvement in what the statement said. That was the information I was given at the time and I stated it to the public. "So why did you tell the press that the president did not dictate that statement, when he did?" Stephanopoulos asked Sanders.
