Conway Again Dodges Question On Why Trump Hasn’t Held A Press Conference In Six Months [VIDEO]

Mediaite reports:



Kellyanne Conway, the former campaign manager turned counselor for the next administration, took questions from Matt Lauer and guest coanchor Katie Couric Tuesday morning on TODAY; when pressed about Trump’s press conference delay, Conway bobbed and weaved her way straight to a nonanswer on the topic.

“Real quickly,” prompted Lauer on Tuesday. “When is [Trump] gonna have a press conference? He promised one in December to talk about conflicts of interest in his business. Last time he held one was 159 days ago — he famously, at that point, urged Russian hackers to look for Hillary Clinton‘s emails. When is he gonna hold a press conference?”

“Well, I’ll take the second part first,” she said, invoking the planned and previously announced briefings with intelligence officials regarding the cyberwarfare efforts. She largely filibustered her answer and only faced one follow-up from Lauer, and it had nothing to do with press conferences.
