Sanders: This Has Nothing To Do With Trump [VIDEO]

Raw Story reports:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday claimed during an interview with CNN’s John Berman that the arrest and indictment of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone shouldn’t be seen as incriminating toward President Donald Trump.

Even though Stone was indicted for lying about efforts to help Trump’s campaign by getting into contact with WikiLeaks, Sanders said that the arrest “has nothing to do with the president.”

“Outlets like yours, CNN spent a significant time looking for information on Wikileaks and also reporting on it,” she said. “Does that mean CNN is guilty of collusion?”

CNN’s @JohnBerman: Did the President direct someone to have Roger Stone reach out to WikiLeaks?

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders: I’m not an attorney.
