In a recent live briefing, Ian Sams, the White House spokesperson, addressed various questions regarding the release of a report and other pertinent issues. One of the first inquiries asked when and by whom the President was briefed about the report's contents. Sams promptly responded that the President had been briefed by his lawyers.
Another topic broached during the briefing was the President's confidence in Merrick Carl, who had been appointed to a specific position. Sams referred to the President's previous remarks on this matter, stating that the President had thoughtfully and powerfully expressed his thoughts on the appointment of the special counsel. Sams emphasized that there was nothing further to add beyond the President's previous statements.
