The White House is ignoring a recent bombshell report that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spied on former President Donald Trump.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki dodged questions about the issue.
“Durham says there was an outside company with ties to the Clinton camp monitoring server data info on the executive office of the president through the Obama administration, possibly into the Trump administration,” asked Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich to Psaki. “Do you know if there’s still a system picking up server data on the EOP and if not, when it stopped?”
To which Psaki replied, “Again, I know you asked my colleague a few questions about this the other day … but I would point any questions about this to the Department of Justice.”
Heinrich pressed further, asking what was described in Durham’s filings, but Psaki dismissed the reporter’s questions for the second time. “Again, I would point you to the Department of Justice,” she said.
This comes after Special Counsel John Durham filed documents on Friday alleging that Clinton’s campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” computer servers at Trump Tower and the White House.
The filing also pertained to conflicts of interest in the Michael Sussmann case, where Sussman, a Clinton campaign lawyer, is charged with lying to the FBI.
According to the filing, Sussman got his information from Rodney Joffe, whose company, Neustar, performed computer-related work for the White House during Trump’s tenure as president.
Trump reacted to the allegations on Monday, saying that the developments are “just the beginning,” as well as criticizing the media for the lack of coverage on the issue.
“This in itself is a scandal, the fact that a story so big, so powerful, and so important for the future of our Nation is getting zero coverage from LameStream, is being talked about all over the world,” Trump said in a written statement from his Save America PAC. “It shows how totally corrupt and shameless the media is.”
“The good news is, everybody is talking about not only this atrocity against our Nation, but that the press refuses to even mention the major crime that took place,” the former president added.
