Contentious White House Briefing on Media Bias
(11 Dec 2017) White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders argues with reporters during the White House briefing Monday over what she described as honest media mistakes versus "purposefully misleading the American people."
Sanders said the morning rush-hour attack in New York's subway underscored "the need for immigration reforms."
Authorities have identified the attacker as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah. Law enforcement officials say he came to the U.S. from Bangladesh seven years ago with a type of preferential visa for people with relatives who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
The White House also is pushing back on sexual misconduct allegations against President Donald Trump, saying he has already denied them.
Three women who previously accused Trump of sexual harassment shared their stories Monday on NBC's "Megyn Kelly Today." They're calling for a congressional investigation.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump "has addressed these accusations directly and denied all of these allegations."
She says the people decided in November to elect him regardless.
Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks are among the women who have alleged harassment by Trump.
The White House has called the claims false and "totally disputed in most cases."
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has said the women should be heard.
