White House officials flatly rejected a Washington Post story on Tuesday that accused the administration of trying block former acting attorney general Sally Yates from testifying before Congress about possible links between Trump campaign associates and the Russian government.

“The Washington Post story is entirely false,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement. “The White House has taken no action to prevent Sally Yates from testifying and the Department of Justice specifically told her that it would not stop her and to suggest otherwise is completely irresponsible.”
