The press secretary would not say if President Trump would accept an investigation that results in the FBI being exonerated.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday defended the objectivity of Attorney General William Barr's probe into the origins of the two-year special counsel's investigation of Russian election interference. She claimed that President Donald Trump will let Barr do his job, in spite of statements appearing to indicate that the president had already reached some conclusions on the matter.
He then asked Sanders why the president would ask Barr to investigate when"he's already come to a conclusion, already decided what the penalties should be, and has already determined what the jail sentences should be. Isn't this the president playing judge and jury and putting his thumb on the scale here for whatever investigation he claims he wants Mr. Barr to do?"
Todd countered by pointing out that he didn't say Trump shouldn't be asking those questions. Rather, his concern was that the president had"already made a judgment." Todd asked again:"So the president is not going to accept exoneration, if that's what Bill Barr finds?" He subsequently asked Sanders if, given that Trump has already publicly accused former FBI Director James Comey of treason, he expected Comey to be arrested as a result of Barr's investigation.
