The White House dodged questions Wednesday on why a Democratic political operative, who has a felony record and was recently accused of supporting violence at Donald Trump’s rallies and voter fraud, visited the White House hundreds of times over the course of President Obama’s time in office.

Robert Creamer, the husband of Illinois Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky, said Tuesday he is “stepping back” from helping Hillary Clinton’s campaign. He made that decision after conservative activist James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, released a video showing Creamer and another Democratic activist purportedly talking about ways to incite violence at Trump campaign rallies.
