WATCH: White House Press Briefing With Sarah Huckabee Sanders (LIVE STREAM)

 

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will address reporters on Tuesday and take questions on what’s new for the administration, starting at 2:30 p.m. EST.

Like Monday, expect questions in today’s briefing to focus mainly (if not entirely) on new updates in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s campaign ties to Russia.

(A reminder: on Monday federal authorities indicted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates on a bevy of charges, including money laundering and various tax crimes. Later that morning, word broke that another campaign staffer, George Papadopoulos, had plead guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians.)

Tuesday morning, Trump apparently got hold of his Twitter account again, and blasted out a series of decrees slamming coverage of the investigation as “Fake News” and claiming that the “biggest story yesterday” is Tony Podesta, a Democratic lobbyist, stepping down from his firm amidst legal scrutiny.

“Fake News weak,” Trump tweeted.

Chief of Staff John Kelly’s interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham might also come up, in light of the former general’s controversial comments about the Civil War.

If Huckabee Sanders has any luck, one of the good reporters will bless her with a question on tax reform.

Watch the livestream above, from 2:30 p.m. EST.
