AP’s @ZekeJMiller: “A question that we've asked your predecessors of both parties in this job. When you're up here in this Briefing Room speaking to the American public. Do you view yourself and your role as speaking on, advocating on behalf of the president or providing the unvarnished truth that is, you know, not to lie, not to obfuscate to the American people?”
@PressSec@KarolineLeavitt: “I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day. I commit to speaking on behalf of the President of the United States. That is my job, and I will say it's very easy to speak truth from this podium when you have a president who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people, and that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past four years. Many of the lies that have been told to your faces in this very briefing room. I will not do that, but since you brought up truth, Zeke, I would like to point out while I vowed to provide the truth from this podium, we ask that all of you in this room hold yourselves to that same standard. We know for a fact there have been lies that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about this President, about his family, and we will not accept that. We will call you out when we feel that you're reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House. So yes, I will hold myself to the truth, and I expect everyone in this room to do the same.”
AP’s @ZekeJMiller to @PressSec@KarolineLeavit: “Caroline, just on a substantive question, yesterday, the White House Office of Management and Budget directed across the board freeze for individual assistance. We understand to federal grants. It's caused a lot of confusion around the country. Head Start providers among providers — services to homeless veterans, you know, Medicaid provider state saying they're having trouble accessing the portal. Could you help us clear up some of the confusion, give some certainty to folks, and also is that uncertainty — how does that uncertainty service the President's voters?”
“President Trump has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world!America will no longer tolerate illegal immigration!And this president expects that every nation on this planet will cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens”
Reporter asks White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, “How many of these migrants being deported have a criminal record versus just being here illegally?”
Karoline Leavitt: “Peace through strength is back. This President will not tolerate illegal immigration into America’s interior and he expects every nation on this planet to cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens who illegally entered into our country.”
@JacquiHeinrich: “Is there any concern that this decision might jeopardize the administration's ability to hire the best advisors for these kinds of positions in the future?” @PressSec
@KarolineLeavitt: “No, in fact, I've talked to the Presidential Personnel Office who has told me directly that there is such an influx of resumes for this administration that it's incredibly overwhelming. There is no lack of talent for the Trump administration.”
