MSNBC anchor Brian Williams on Friday contrasted the mugshot of the suspected gunman in the Texas high school shooting massacre to an earlier photo that Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, posted of himself on social media.

“Aside from the obvious weight gain, people will note his eyes have gone dead in the mugshot,” Williams said.

Conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin responded to the White House’s squabbling over leaks about the John McCain “dying” remark with some tough words about the administration on Monday.

“These are soulless people working for a soulless President,” Rubin said on MSNBC. “The President of the United States doesn’t have a purpose higher than himself, and therefore the people who work for him do not have a higher purpose.”

The White House aide who brushed off Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) opposition to CIA director nominee Gina Haspell because he’s “dying” still works in the administration, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday.

NBC News’ Kristen Welker asked whether White House special assistant to the President Kelly Sadler still works at the White House, and Sanders responded, “Yes, she does.”

Sanders mostly refused to engage reporters’ questions about Sadler’s remark, saying that she didn’t want to validate a leak from an internal White House meeting.

President Donald Trump told reporters Friday morning that his new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, knows that the Mueller investigation is a “witch hunt.”

“He started yesterday. He’ll get his facts straight. He’s a great guy. But what he does is he feels it’s a very bad thing for our country, and he happens to be right.”

During a series of interviews this week, Giuliani said that Trump paid back his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, for a hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels, who has claimed that she had an affair with Trump about a decade ago.

Before boarding Air Force One to travel to the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas, Trump addressed the Giuliani situation once again.

“I will tell you this, I will tell you this, when Rudy made the statement, Rudy’s great, but Rudy had just started, and he wasn’t totally familiar with everything. And Rudy, we love Rudy, he’s a special guy. What he really understands is that this is a witch hunt. He understands that probably better than anybody.”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders got a dig in at Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) Tuesday when asked whether the White House was concerned that special counsel Robert Mueller wants to ask President Trump questions about obstruction of justice.

“We here at the White House try never to be concerned with anything dealing with Adam Schiff,” she said.

Schiff responded on Twitter:

If you’re not concerned, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, why won’t the President agree to an interview with Bob Mueller? His protestations of “no collusion, no obstruction” would be more convincing if he wasn’t trying to dodge answering questions under oath. https://t.co/Hl87a3Fp8b
