Press Secretary of the White House Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed Monday that although the testimonial of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was ‘compelling’ it was more likely to be false.
Sanders, who spoke on Fox News Sunday, said that the Trump Administration is not ‘micromanaging’ the Supreme Court process involving Senate nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The show’s host Chris Wallace responded that she and President Trump both said Dr. Ford’s testimony was ‘impactful’, as well as a ‘sham’.
In a tweet on Saturday, Trump said that the news by NBC claiming the President was ‘limiting’ the FBI probe against Kavanaugh were ‘incorrectly’ reported.
Wallace played a clip showing President Trump, who had just been asked Thursday about Ford’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I thought her testimony was very compelling and she looks like a very fine woman to me, very fine woman..certainly she was a very credible witness, she was very good in many respects,” Trump said.
“How does the President…explain that she could be so credible and so specific in putting Kavanaugh and one of his best friends, Mark Judge, in that room? And be wrong about it? You say you think something happened. Not necessarily with Kavanaugh. How does he explain it?”
“I don’t think anyone of us can know 100 percent,” Sanders replied. “There’s no doubt that her story is heartbreaking and it’s heart-wrenching to watch it. I’ve watched it a number of times.”
