Kellyanne Conway appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday for an extensive sparring match with Brian Stelter, who grilled the White House counselor on White House leaks, Donald Trump‘s erroneous comments about the Russia investigation, and why the president seems to be avoiding the press.

Stelter, whose marathon interview with Conway went on for more than twenty minutes, first asked the official about Trump’s tweets claiming the Russia investigation is a witch hunt. Conway dodged the question, pivoting to Trump’s accomplishments in office.

The Reliable Sources host moved on to press about leaks coming out of the White House, asking if any staffers have been fired, and after Conway took a swipe at the media for its coverage, Stelter fired back: “Why the constant attacks?”

“Are you really arguing there’s not that many leaks out of the White House?” Stelter asked.

“Yeah, I would argue that,” Conway replied.
