Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Leavitt took questions from the press about the FBI’s seizure of election materials, with one reporter asking if there was any indication of foreign influence.
Leavitt responded by bringing up the media’s past claims of Russian interference in the 2016 election, and how the current administration is investigating those claims.
She reminded the press that the FBI’s actions are part of their role to ensure American elections are safe and secure, and that Director Gabbard’s presence is a normal part of that process.
In hindsight, it’s clear that the press is more interested in the optics of the situation than the actual facts.
