Reince Priebus Won't Go to Bat For Trump on Stormy Daniels Payout: 'I'm Not Sure What the Truth is'

Source: Mediate

“[I’m] not spinning for the president,” said Reince Preibus Sunday morning on Fox News. “I don’t work for the president anymore.”

The former White House Chief of Staff didn’t really need to make that comment, though. Moments earlier, he’d made that fact patently obvious.

Appearing on MediaBuzz with Howard Kurtz, Priebus refused to go to bat for President Donald Trump following Rudy Giuliani‘s shocking admission that the Commander in Chief reimbursed his attorney, Michael Cohen, for the hush money payout to Stormy Daniels.

“I’m not sure what the truth is,” Priebus said. “Whether there was a payment made or not by the president. Obviously, I believe the mayor. I know that he wouldn’t go on TV and say anything that wasn’t true. But in today’s world, with so many different people saying different things, I don’t know if we actually know yet the truth of it. I myself didn’t know anything about it.”

Do not associate me with Cohen, whoever he is.

I was only chair of the RNC, when that guy was the Counsel for the RNC. I don’t know who or what that guy paid for. Nothing to see here.

In the context of discussing Rudy's statements vs. Trump's, saying that Rudy wouldn't go on TV and say something he knew to be untrue is a sideways way of saying that Trump would.
