No staff discipline after video post, president says (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Mr. President, have you fired or disciplined that staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?
[00:00:08] Speaker 2: No, I haven't. That was a video on, as you know, voter fraud, and fairly long video, and they had a little piece and had to do with the Lion King. It's been very well — it's been shown all over the place long before that was posted. But that was a very strong — and I'm sure you saw it — a very strong piece on voter fraud, and the piece that you're talking about was all over the place many times, I believe for years.
- The president denies firing or disciplining the staffer responsible for the post.
- He frames the post as part of a longer video focused on voter fraud.
- He notes the disputed clip had been widely available for years before being shared from his account.
