Sanders gets question on George Papadopoulos & Paul Manafort In a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders addressed notable questions from reporters regarding the indictments of Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, and the plea agreement involving George Papadopoulos, all pivotal figures linked to the Trump campaign. Sanders emphasized that these developments do not implicate President Trump or his campaign activities directly.

Key Takeaways from the Press Briefing:​

  • Clarification on Investigations: Sanders stated that the recent indictments are unrelated to the president's campaign, referring to them as actions from before the campaign's inception. She maintained that there is no evidence suggesting any collusion between Trump's campaign and Russian officials, suggesting instead that any collusion allegations point to the Clinton campaign's connections with Russia.
  • Limited Role of Papadopoulos: When pressed about George Papadopoulos' involvement, Sanders described his role as extremely limited, characterized as a volunteer without any official capacity within the campaign. She indicated that his outreach efforts were largely unfruitful and dismissed, suggesting that those actions did not represent any sanctioned campaign strategy.
  • Focus on Domestic Policy: Responding to concerns that the ongoing investigations might distract from pressing domestic issues, Sanders reiterated that this is an external matter and the administration's priorities remain focused on tax reform and other key policies.
  • President's Reaction: As for Trump's feelings regarding Manafort's indictment, Sanders mentioned that there was minimal reaction within the White House, reflecting a stance that the issues at hand were detached from the president’s direct involvement or judgment.
