White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended a Saturday night tweet from her official account, saying the message, which contained an official photo of President Donald Trump and his team being "briefed" on Syria, is not misleading.
"It’s from Thursday meeting when he was briefed on Syria," Sanders said in an email to POLITICO. "So no, not misleading at all."
The missile strike on Syria occurred Friday night. On Saturday night, she tweeted the photo from her @PressSec account and wrote: “Last night the President put our adversaries on notice: when he draws a red line he enforces it."
Sanders herself clarified the tweet on Sunday: "As I said, the President put our adversaries on notice that he enforces red lines with the strike on Syria Friday night," she wrote on Twitter. "The photo was taken Thursday in the Situation Room during Syria briefing."
