White House spokesman Josh Earnest refused to comment Tuesday on a report that Attorney General Loretta Lynch opposes an Obama administration proposal to adjudicate some cases of inmates of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay via videoconference.

“I’m not going to get into the views that are expressed in private conversations,” Earnest said on Tuesday. But he did insist that Lynch is on board with the goal of finding some way to close the facility.
