White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley made the comment on Fox News on Saturday, one day after special counsel Robert Mueller revealed the indictments of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities as part of his team's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"There are two groups that have created chaos more than the Russians," Hogan said. "And that’s the Democrats and the mainstream media who continued to push this lie on the American people for more than a year, and quite frankly, Americans should be outraged by that."
His comments were in reference to the ongoing efforts of the Mueller inquiry to examine whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Over the past year, the media has closely reported every development in the Mueller investigation, and several Democrats have publicly theorized that President Trump is hiding criminal behavior.
