Ansari: "Do I believe Blanche will be forthcoming? No, I do not. I think every administration official has lied over and over again. Bondi had senior DOJ officials like Harmeet Dhillon whispering in her ear telling her what to say or not to say. That's weaponization of the Dept of Justice."

Come into the White House? BLANCHE: I did NOT say that. You don't get to put words in my mouth! RADDATZ: But you said— BLANCHE: —you don't get to put words in my mouth. That's NOT how it works!

RADDATZ: That's fine, we can move on 🔥🔥 Blanche handles the fake news like a MASTERCLASS "We can move on." Yep. When she realizes she was about to lie on national television and didn't want ABC to get THEIR access revoked just like CNN! 🤣 Blanche was acting WH Press Secretary for a day recently, and he's getting so good at it, Trump might have him take the podium again 😅
