(1/5) This @TheDailyBeast article is based on false, sensational charges -- apparently designed to get clicks, shares, and likes. I haven’t even visited DC since before the pandemic started — let alone been inside the White House.

(2/5) I have never been included in any meetings about police reform (not by phone, zoom, nada). I didn’t know what was in the EO until the day it was released.

(3/5) When I meet with folks at The White House, I say so during relevant coverage on-air — as I did all through 2018, when I worked on criminal justice reform.

(4/5) The accusation that I attended White House meetings on police reform but failed to disclose them is doubly false, and it should be corrected.

(5/5) I will continue to openly work across the aisle to help those trapped in the justice system. We need more of that these days, not less.
