Sean spicer today started the press conference by lumping our reporting with what buzz feed did. Here is what he said. The fact that buzz feed and cnn made the decision to run with this unsubstantiated claim is a pathetic attempt to get clicks. We did not publish the 35page unsubstantiated allegations. Nor did we link to it. Not even to the buzz feed story that mentioned it. I asked Senior Adviser for trump, Kellyanne Conway about it just a short time ago. At todays press conference, sean spicer...

Keep this in mind though. Just last year he canceled at that event when some conservatives tried to derail his campaign for the white house. A difference a year makes. Any hard feelings from mr.

First one. Less than a week and a half after the election, the white house announced that retired general Michael Flynn would be named National Security advisor to the president. It wasnt a total surprise, right . Flynn had been around during the campaign, he was clearly a big wheel in trumpland.

Particularly to experienced National...
