The White House press briefing returned today for the first time in more than a year. And with Kayleigh McEnany’s debut, it was like the briefing never went away in the first place.
Her responses to most of the questions asked amounted to little more than talking points drawn from Trump.
Though McEnany pledged to be honest with reporters, she grew somewhat heated when discussing the legal issues surrounding Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser. McEnany raised Flynn’s case without prompting from reporters, telling them that “a case of injustice that has yet to be brought up today.”this week shed more light on the origins of the criminal case against Flynn.
But McEnany, who repeatedly glanced down at notes on her lectern when discussing the issue, inaccurately described what Flynn’s supporters have called the “smoking gun” from some of the documents, describing to reporters “a handwritten FBI noted that says ‘We need to get Flynn to lie,’ and get him fired.”“That was an unfair target on the back of General Michael Flynn. It should concern every American any time there is a partisan pursuit of an individual,” she asserted.
They reflect deliberation about whether confronting Flynn with a lie in real time would be helpful to their investigation.
