The White House is refusing to answer questions following the controversial decision to send Chief of Staff John Kelly and Donald Trump lawyer Emmet Flood to a meeting at the Justice Department on Thursday.


President Donald Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, rebuffed questions during a scrum with White House reporters on Friday, CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins reports.

On Thursday, following reports Flood was spotted at the meeting, Collins reminded that Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed Flood was hired to his taxpayer-funded job to fight "the Russia witch hunt."
