Sean Spicer: Obama administration hypocritical on Russia

Published June 26, 2017 9:04pm ET



White House press secretary Sean Spicer accused former President Barack Obama and his administration of being hypocritical for sounding the alarm on the dangers of Russia’s interference in the election, despite taking no action and knowing about the Kremlin’s role months before Election Day.

“I don’t have all the understanding of what (the Obama administration) knew and when they knew it, but there does seem to be a bit of hypocrisy in terms of what they didn’t clearly do if they truly believed all of this was happening,” Spicer said during Monday’s press briefing.
