WH mum on possible veto of Senate Zika bill

A top White House spokesman repeatedly dodged questions on whether President Obama would veto a Senate Zika funding bill that provides $1.1 billion, $800 million less than Obama’s request.

Presidential deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said only that the administration has issued a veto threat against the House-passed bill that provides $622 million in funding to fight the Zika virus and points out that all of the funding already provided to fight the Ebola virus should be spent first before providing more money to combat Zika.
