This Stormy Daniels saga continues to dog this white house and Sarah Sanders yesterday finally gave the White House Press corps a little bit something more on this situation, when she talked about an arbitration case that the president had apparently won last week, as it relates to Stormy Daniels. That acknowledgement, according to a source close to the white house, has kind of upset the president because he believes that it has given fuel to the whole story line. According to the source, sarah gave the Stormy Daniels story line trosteroids yesterday. Jim acosta reported this morning, and what that means is that it opens a can of worms for the president potentially after weeks of the white house saying that he had nothing to do with this Stormy Daniels situation.

He does do this a lot. He did it with a coalrelated thing at one point where he had the big signing ceremony. Then he did it with an obamacare related thing. He held the big signing ceremony. Didnt sign the thing. He did it once last march where it looked like he was about to sign but then he got asked a question about mike flynn and it appeared to fluster him so much that he didnt sign the documents. He walked out of the room. The Vice President mike pence said hey, do you want to sign this and went back into the room and collected unsigned documents and followed the president out of the room. Maybe the president signed them later. In any case, there was another one of those incidents today where the president convened everybody to see him sign a thing and he didnt sign the thing.
