Spicer on Manafort: Paul’s Hired ‘to Count Delegates’ and ‘He Did His Job’

‘That’s why he was brought in as he had been for George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Bob Dole’

EXCERPT:

 

KARL: “Sean, would then candidate Donald Trump have hired Paul Manafort for such an important and prominent position in his campaign if he had known that he had a $10 million contract with somebody so close to Vladimir Putin to, quote, ‘greatly benefit the Putin government?’ If he had known that, would he have hired him?”
SPICER: “I don’t know. Paul was hired, as I said, to count delegates. That’s why he was brought in, as he had been for George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Bob Dole. He did his job. That’s what he was there for.”
