White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Sunday admitted that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was "compelling" when she testified that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Wallace asked Sanders if the White House had given the FBI a list of witnesses it could interview in the Kavanaugh case that did not include Julie Swetnick or her allegations that Kavanaugh was "present" during a gang rape.
"The White House is not micromanaging this process," Sanders insisted without answering the question. "The Senate is dictating the terms, they laid out the request and we've opened it up. As you heard the president say, do what you need to do. The FBI, this is what they do and we're out of the way."
Wallace pressed Sanders on whether Swetnick was being excluded.
"Did the White House counsel give the FBI a list?" Wallace said.
"Not that I'm aware of," Sander demurred.
"But the White House is in charge of telling the FBI [what to investigate]," Wallace pointed out.
"They are going to go and they are going to provide information," Sanders insisted. "And the Senate is going to have to make a determination to either vote for Brett Kavanaugh or not."
