6 Things To Know From 2nd White House Briefing

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held his second press briefing on Tuesday and doubled down on the claim that the president has "evidence" of massive voter fraud and said the administration was looking into reports that employees of at least two federal agencies were told not to talk to reporters or post to social media accounts. Spicer also took questions from reporters on the president's policies toward immigration and the impending Supreme Court nomination. Below are six key takeaways from the briefing:

Donald Trump has ‘evidence’ of massive voter fraud.

That’s what Spicer said, elevating early statements about voter fraud that had left out the Trump-has-“evidence” part. The president told congressional leaders Monday night that he would have won the popular vote had it not been for the 3 million to 5 million illegal voters. (Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million cast ballots.) If such fraud existed, it would mark, by far, the biggest voting scandal in the history of the United States. That begs the question of why Trump hasn’t given this information to investigators.

Supreme Court nominees narrowing.

Spicer announced that Trump would hold a bipartisan meeting Tuesday afternoon with Senate majority and minority leaders to discuss filling the vacancy on the United States Supreme Court. A decision is expected to be made by the end of the week, and an announcement, as the president indicated earlier, will be made early next week.

Spicer said that the president intends to appoint justices to “protect our liberty and hold the highest regard for the Constitution.”

No conflicts here.

Spicer declared it "impossible" for Trump to have conflicts of interest in the Dakota Access Pipeline, which Trump approved earlier in the day. "By law, he can't have conflicts,” Spicer said when asked about a financial disclosure showing Trump owned stock in the company behind the pipeline.

What happens to Dreamers?

Asked by Lifezette reporter Jim Stinson when immigration enforcement organization and activists could see action on those in the country under the DACA and DAPA program, Spicer said Trump wants immigration authorities to focus first and foremost on those who pose a threat to this country, “criminals, frankly.” As for DACA, Spicer said Trump is looking to his Cabinet-level team to start organizing and create a plan to move forward.

The program created by President Obama under executive action provides temporary relief to those brought to the country by their parents before they were 16 who live here illegally.

‘Looking into’ reports of muzzled government workers

Spicer said the White House is looking into reports that federal employees working in two agencies have been told not to talk to reporters and not to update social media accounts. Reports have said employees at the Interior Department and the Environmental Protection Agency have been hit with the gag directives.

Will Trump Participate in March for Life?

The March for Life, an annual pro-life event, will take place in the nation’s capital on Friday. Breitbart reporter Charlie Spiering asked Spicer whether, like George W. Bush, who in the past had spoken via telephone with the marchers, Trump planned on participating in any capacity. Spicer noted that presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway would be going to the march, and he would have further information on the president’s “potential participation.”

“It’s no secret that the president has campaigned as a pro-life president, it’s something that is very important to him, as evidenced by the Mexico City policy reinstatement that he issued yesterday,” Spicer said.

(The Mexico City Policy prevents the federal government from providing funds to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortion services. )

He said there would be “heavy administration presence” and with regard to the president, he would find out whether it’s “a greeting of some sort or a call.”
