| Earnest Dodges Question: Obama Officials Involved in Intel Leaks ? |
| 2017-03-06 |
| [Free Beacon] Former White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest would not give a definitive answer Sunday when asked if any Obama loyalists have been behind recent intelligence leaks in the Trump administration. ABC host Martha Raddatz referenced the accusation of President Trump's deputy assistant, Sebastian Gorka, that former President Barack Obama and his staffers are behind leaks against Trump officials. When confronted with this accusation, Earnest chose not to answer the question, instead praising the intelligence community. "Martha, what I can tell you is that the men and women of our intelligence community are patriots," Earnest said. "And these are professionals who have served presidents in both administrations and they took an oath to protect this country and set aside their own political views."Earnest then took an apparent jab at the Trump administration, saying that the intelligence community does not deserve "to be attacked or accused of having a political motive." Several Trump advisers have urged the president to fire political appointees from the Obama administration who are still serving in government, Politico reported Thursday. |
