Lanza struggled to explain or justify what his former boss was saying during a segment on CNN Monday afternoon.

The White House took aim at CNN correspondent Kristen Holmes's children, saying they would one day be "sickened" by her, after she asked President Donald Trump about his relationship with a close aide.
