White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Wednesday refused to say whether it was a mistake for BuzzFeed to publish an unverified report alleging close and disturbing ties between Russia and President-elect Trump.
Trump’s team, Nancy Pelosi and even many in the press criticized BuzzFeed for putting the document out there. But when asked if it was a mistake, Earnest said the Obama administration continues to believe it’s best to let each media outlet decide its own policies.
