Sean Spicer Gets Testy When Asked About Nigel Farage Meeting Julian Assange: “I Don’t Keep His Schedule”

Mediaite reports:

Press Secretary Sean Spicer had a flummoxed moment on Thursday when he was asked about today’s news that Trump ally Nigel Farage went to the embassy where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange lives. “I have my own concerns here keeping track of what everyone is doing. I generally don’t worry about what’s going on across the pond,” Spicer said. “This is silly. I don’t think asking where random foreign leaders are and whether they are there…I’m sure he was there doing whatever. But I don’t keep his schedule.”

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer wants everyone to know that he, the White House and the president are “not aware” of a Justice Department investigation into Donald Trump’s wiretapping accusations. In fact, he repeated the claim 10 times in response to one question on Thursday and then recommended that reporters use a thesaurus to look up additional ways to say it.

Spicer was asked to clarify whether he was given assurances directly from the Justice Department that the president was not the target of an investigation. “I am not aware of it,” he said. “But that’s my point, is that we’re not aware of anything.”

“So, you just don’t know,” CBS News Correspondent Margaret Brennan pressed. “I said I’m not aware, and we’re not aware,” Spicer laughed. “That’s why we want the House and Senate to do what the president asked and look into this. But no, we’re not aware.”
