Watch Live: White House Press Briefing with Sarah Sanders | August 2, 2018

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders briefs the press today and then takes questions.

Potential briefing topics:

Mueller interview: The New York Times reported that President Trump is pushing for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, despite his lawyers' advice not to, as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. According to Mr. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the Trump legal team has received a letter from Mueller regarding ground rules for a potential interview;

Kim Jong Un: In a tweet, President Trump thanked North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for "keeping his word" on returning the remains of Korean war victims. Vice President Mike Pence received the remains at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii Wednesday night. The 55 boxes of bones North Korea claims are the remains of America's soldiers came with just one military dog tag and no other information;

Fuel standards: The Trump administration plans to roll back Obama-era mileage standards that were to take effect after 2020. The proposal would freeze an effort intended to promote auto fuel efficiency and curb polluting tailpipe emissions.

I am awestruck by that absolute brilliance of this woman.
She profoundly made an utter fool of this guy "Jim" who clearly was trying to entrap her with a fallaciously crafted 'grievance' .
Sanders masterfully silenced him while simultaneously transitioning seemlessly and with much class to the next question.
I'm jealous.

You know... It's amazing what some people are willing to do and how far they are willing get for a succulent pay check. Lie, mislead, cover up, distract, avoid, excuse the inexcusable, justify the unjustifiable, and defend the indefensible. It's always about the money at the end of the day.

I Love Sarah Huckabee Sanders, my Queen bee...

Flash! How about dispensing with the WHPB and go directly to the people! Call it the "White House Peoples Briefing". I'm totally upset with most of the Press because they seem to be trying to brief the POTUS and are asking SHS to spin the POTUS briefing to the press with her personal thoughts, since they don't want to listen to the thoughts of the POTUS! 😕

[tommycapps]

Whichever news outlets gets upset about the President saying FAKE NEWS is the enemy of the people, are only admitting that they are indeed FKAE NEWS!!

Dan Coats...why did you dodge saying Russia when Drumpf claims you told him it was Russia? Or did you not want to insult some 400lb guy sitting in his bed?

[johncarloyntrapanese]

Why not ask the press to be part of the solution? Double check your sources, confirm information so as not to promote misinformation. Make Voting security a team effort!

[craigdougan]

The fact that she won't directly answer a very simple question proves that she does in fact believe that the press IS the enemy of the people.
She then whines about being made fun of at an event where comedians make fun of people.
So weak Sarah- you should probably just resign.

NEVER TRUST A DRAFT DODGER WHO HATES DOGS AND CHEATS AT GOLF.

Normally, the loudest are often the guilty ones ;-)

[JackTheSkunk]

Corrupt News Network and their stooge Acosta need to be banned from
the press briefings.

[dvuswaz]

The only circus George, is the liberal media. Get the help George, get it right away. There is help for “Trump Derangement Syndrome”.

[donnicholas]

The Ministry of Disinformation  speaks.

[mistergrizz]

after all trump has said and done I"LL BELIEVE IT WHEN HE"S IMPEACHED

[jvinny]

Sarah I give you great credit for keeping your composure with all the ignorance and hate that comes from Jim Acosta the fake journalist.

[jeromepowell]

Funny they all say its Russia while trump trys to say its not

[tommycapps]

The rudest man in the White House briefing is Jim Acosta! The White House briefing room is not Jim Acosta’s briefing room. I would not let him return. Has anyone ever been that unprofessional?

[jeromepowell]

How you tell reporters they can't ask hard questions. Trump causes his own problems no one else with Hus petty childish ways. Always pushing them to sing his praises

[briannumme]

Take a shot: she said ‘Isis is on the run!’

[maryf.]

Jim Acosta should be replaced with someone who can be respectful
