White House press secretary Sarah Sanders admitted to the special counsel that she lied to the press about former FBI Director James Comey’s diminishing popularity within the FBI’s ranks.
The Mueller report, which was released Thursday, revealed that Sanders admitted that it was a “slip of the tongue” to suggest that FBI agents told the White House they were displeased with Comey’s status as the head of the FBI.
She lied to the press corps during a May 10,2017 press briefing, in which she defended President Donald Trump’s decision to terminate Comey based on low morale within the FBI.
