White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders insisted on Monday that President Donald Trump thinks no one is above the law.
At Monday's White House briefing, Sanders was asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl about Trump's assertion that the Justice Department should not prosecute Republican candidates during an election year.
"The president thinks no one is above the law," Sanders said. "What he would like to see is a fair playing field, that there also be — there have been a number of concerns raised about individuals both in the FBI and the Department of Justice that have been ignored and we would like to see those looked at as well."
Sanders, however, argued that she could not "weigh in" on Karl's question because it dealt with an ongoing investigation -- even though Trump had initially tweeted about the matter.
