Sarah Sanders, on Fox News, says Trump was 'making a joke' when he said he loved Wikileaks
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday claimed President Donald Trump was only joking when he repeatedly praised Wikileaks ahead of the 2016 election.
Sanders said the Trump administration “certainly takes serious” the case against Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange, who was arrested Thursday on a charge of conspiring to hack into U.S. government computers in 2010.— FoxNewsSunday April 14, 2019 Then-candidate Trump told his supporters more than 140 times in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election that he loved Wikileaks, an organization that publishes classified information from anonymous sources.
“I love Wikileaks,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania on Oct. 10, 2016. Roughly two weeks later, he praised the controversial website as a “treasure trove” at a campaign event in Michigan.But the president claimed to be clueless about Wikileaks when asked whether he still loves the site on Thursday.
His comments were only the latest seemingly contradictory remarks he’s made on Wikileaks and Assange. Despite tweeting about Assange several times in recent years, Trump claimed last November that he didn’t know “anything” about the 47-year-old computer programmer.
