Camerota asked Conway specifically what President Trump’s White House is doing to prevent Russian interference and hacking in American politics.

Each time Camerota asked a question, Conway did not respond directly.

Conway accused CNN of pushing a narrative before saying “you’ve asked me the same question three times now and I’m answering it.”

“Kellyanne, you’re not answering it,” Camerota shot back.

“He’s the president of the United States,” Conway said again of Trump.

“And what’s he doing?” Camerota asked again, still in search of an answer.

Camerota continued to press Conway for an answer.

“What action is the White House doing to stop Russian interference in elections?” Camerota asked again.

Conway answered again telling Camerota that Trump expressed “his resistance towards any type of outside interference.”
