Though former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn confirmed in court Tuesday that he was not actually ambushed by the FBI, and that he did knowingly lie to agents, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is nevertheless standing by her comments that he was ambushed.

A reporter had asked if she wanted to walk back her earlier comments.

She made the original comments during an interview with Fox News earlier Tuesday, before Flynn walked back his complaints against the FBI in the courtroom.

“We’re arguing that he was certainly ambushed and the FBI, that we know had clear political bias, we’ve seen that time and time again,” she said then.

  2. So when Sanders leaves the Whitehouse, which we understand is soon, who the hell is going to hire such an out and out liar?

    Flynn says he knew he was lying and was not entrapped, hours ago, and yet she is still saying he was.

    Through the Looking Glass . .

  3. same person that hires all the Dump rejects CNN

  4. They should ask Meretricious Sarah if Flynn was also ambushed by Pence, because Trump fired him for lying to the VP.

  5. Blood is in the water Huckabuck. You aren’t talking the press out of this feeding frenzy. They taste scandal, and it is delicious!
