Sanders Admitted She Lied to Media About Comey Firing

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted she lied to the media about President Donald Trump’s highly controversial decision to fire FBI Director James Comey in 2017, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

"Sanders told this Office [of the special counsel] that her reference to hearing from ‘countless members of the FBI’ was a ‘slip of the tongue,’” investigators wrote in the document, which was released with significant redactions by Attorney General William Barr on Thursday.

“She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made ‘in the heat of the moment’ that was not founded on anything,” it continued.

Sanders told the press following Comey’s firing in May 2017 that “countless” FBI agents had lost confidence in his leadership. Critics quickly raised concerns that Trump’s decision to fire Comey was an attempt to obstruct justice and hinder the investigation into his campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
