White House spokesman Michael Anton seemed to have a hard time answering whether President Trump has read his own national security strategy document Monday.
The moment occurred Monday evening on CNN.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Anton if Trump had read all of the 55-page strategy document that the Trump administration rolled out earlier Monday.
“The president has been involved in the drafting of it from the beginning, has been presented with sections of it over the past many months and was briefed on the final document several weeks ago,” Anton replied.
“The president himself personally led the presentation of the document to his Cabinet only about a week ago,” he added.
“But has he read the whole document?” Blitzer pressed.
“I can’t say that he’s read every line and every word. He certainly had the document … and has been briefed on it,” Anton said.
