White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stopped by Hannity Monday night to offer her take on recent news stories, including President Trump’s bid to reopen Alcatraz, CNN’s interview with a Sinaloa Cartel member, and more.
“I can confirm for you that the White House has already administered calls with the Bureau of Prisons, our counterparts at the Department of Justice, and our counterparts at the Department of Interior,” Leavitt confirmed.
“Bureau of Prisons has already confirmed they are assessing next steps to reopen this notorious prison … President Trump is leaving no stone unturned to restore law and order to our country,” Leavitt added.
Leavitt also weighed in on CNN’s interview with a Sinaloa drug cartel member; she called the move “despicable.”
“I was scrolling on Instagram when I came across the interview, and it stopped me in my tracks,” Leavitt said. “Not just because they sat down with a member of a Mexican cartel that is now designated as a foreign terrorist organization, but because of the nature of the questions … it was a softball interview, giving a platform to a notorious drug cartel that has killed American citizens.”
“I thought it was quite despicable — but this is another reason why the trust in the legacy media is at an all-time low with the American public.”
