The White House Tuesday denounced as “entirely false” a news report that the Trump administration tried to prevent former acting Attorney General Sally Yates from testifying to the House Intelligence Committee about Russia.
In a statement, the White House said it “has taken no action to prevent Sally Yates from testifying and the Department of Justice specifically told her that it would not stop her and to suggest otherwise is completely irresponsible.”
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said an article on the matter in The Washington Post “is entirely false.”
Mr. Spicer said the White House counsel’s office was given a deadline of March 27 to respond with any objections toMs. Yates testifying, and didn’t respond.
“We encouraged them to go ahead. That’s the story,” he said.

It's gotten to the point of ridiculous. Every person whose looked into this so-called Russian thing has found no connection. Like Spicer said to April Ryan during presser yesterday, "If the President puts Russian dressing on his salad tonight at dinner, you'll find some connection to Russia." True, they would. There comes a point when people have to accept the facts and quit dealing in the puffery designed to keep your head turned away from the real corruption. Wise up, kids.
