You gotta love CNN

CNN host Chris Cuomo provided an outlandish explanation on Thursday for White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s quick flip-flop about whether President Donald Trump was under investigation by the U.S. government. Following Trump’s claim that he was illegally wiretapped by President Barack Obama, Spicer was asked at Wednesday’s press conference if law enforcement was actively investigating the president.

Spicer initially said that “we need to find out” if the president is under investigation. But after receiving a note from a White House staffer, he changed his story.

“There is no reason we have to think that the president is the target of any investigation whatsoever,” Spicer told reporters. “The tweet dealt with wiretaps during the campaign, the other is an investigation. They are two separate issues. And there is no reason to believe that there is any type of investigation with respect to the Department of Justice.”

Cuomo lampooned Spicer on Thursday with his own comic rendition of what the note may have looked like.
