Sean Spicer: I Never ‘Knowingly’ Lied to the American People

Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday he didn’t “knowingly” lie during his six-month stint working at the White House. Spicer appeared on Good Morning America Thursday morning and was asked if he’s ever lied to the American people. “I’ve not knowingly done anything to do that,” Spicer said. Throughout the contentious interview, Spicer did not apologize for his handling of various issues including Trump’s inauguration crowd size and the reason for former FBI Director James Comey’s firing, though he did say he wished he was more clear in his responses to the press regarding the 2017 inauguration and travel ban. He also said he believed his short time as press secretary was not perfect. “I made mistakes, there’s no question. I think we all do. Some of them I’ve tried to own, very publicly. In some cases, there were things that I did that, until somebody brought it up, I said, ‘Gosh, I didn’t realize that was a mistake. I’m sorry about that,'” Spicer said.
