sfgate.com – By Susana Guerrero – Avoiding the press took a strange turn after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer reportedly hid behind a tall hedge on Tuesday night. After President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Spicer briefly spoke with Fox Business, but then disappeared into the shadows along with his staff to avoid further questioning, the Washington Post reports.
“After Spicer spent several minutes hidden in the bushes behind these sets, Janet Montesi, an executive assistant in the press office, emerged and told reporters that Spicer would answer some questions, as long as he was not filmed doing so,” the Washington Post wrote. “Spicer then emerged.”
