about why the president dictated that meeting and why they covered that up initially, why did they give false statements about that, false statements covering up false statements and in most people s minds those are considered lies. why wouldn t she take follow up questions from reporters. i ve been covering white house briefings going back several presidents and every press secretary takes follow-up questions. why wouldn t she. because they just don t want to answer the questions. and this is happening gradually over , fewer briefings and they are shorter and sarah sanders is going aro the room and takin one question from reporter and we need a new strategy on the part of the white house press corp to start asking the question from the previous reporter who was cut off by the press secretary because clearly this is a strategy designed to not give information to the american people, wolf. jim acosta at the white house. thank you. let s dig deeper. evan perez is joining us. th
