White House press secretary Sean Spicer said on Wednesday that a draft executive order asking for a review of methods for interrogating terror suspects and looking into possibly reopening CIA-run “black site” prisons outside the United States was not a White House document and declined to comment on it.
“It is not a White House document, and I would just urge those people who have reported on it, this is now I think the second day that we’ve had a document that was not a White House document get reported on as a factual document,” Spicer said in his daily briefing. “It is not a White House document. I have no idea where it came from.”
