White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday declined to comment on news reports about questions Russia special counsel Robert Mueller wanted to ask President Donald Trump but zinged Rep. Adam Schiff on whether they focused on obstruction of justice.
"Is the White House concerned, as Congressman Adam Schiff has said, that so many of the questions point to obstruction of justice?" Francesca Chambers, White House correspondent for The Daily Mail, asked at the daily briefing.
