White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany complained that former FBI agent Peter Strzok fact-checked claims on MSNBC about Russia collusion.
The former FBI agent, who has been a target of ire for President Donald Trump, corrected host Andrea Mitchell's assertion that special counsel Robert Mueller had found no evidence of collusion in his nearly two-year investigation.
"They were unable to bring — to a legal standard — to bring criminal charges that something had occurred but they point throughout the report to a variety of deep counterintelligence concerns. When you add that to the recent bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report, almost a thousand pages from a Republican Senate committee laying out all these concerns, the data is too great to ignore,” Strzok said. “So yes, I believe that the president is compromised by the Russians, and I think that takes a lot of forms. I think it comes through financial entanglements that he is fighting to become known, that the Russians know about and can hold over him. I also think it also comes from the way they can play to his ego, his strange fascination with dictators around the world.”
A short time later McEnany defended the president from Strzok's allegation.
.@MSNBC just had DISGRACED former FBI agent Peter Stzrok – who was FIRED from the Mueller team for his blatant anti-Trump bias – on air to discuss ... the sanctity and security of the upcoming election," McEnany tweeted. "Unbelievable!!!"
Her tweet then prompted a swift wave of blowback.
