00:00You keep talking about the Deputy Attorney General, you've got the President of the United States.

00:06On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Sarah Huckabee Sanders got into a heated conversation with

00:11Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski over President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director

00:16James Comey. The Deputy White House Press Secretary, who is filling in for Sean Spicer

00:20this week, was asked by MSNBC's Willie Geist to clarify her comments that the investigation

00:26into allegations that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence

00:30the election has become, quote, absurd. Sanders said,

00:33"...I know that person after person, including your own Joe Scarborough, has said that there is

00:38no evidence of collusion here." That prompted Scarborough to jump in, saying,

00:42"...I said there is no obvious evidence of collusion out there right now, and if there were

00:46that obvious evidence of collusion, it would have already been leaked." He added,

00:50"...I also said there needs to be in-depth investigations because it probably will take

00:54an independent prosecutor to figure out the financial ties between Donald Trump and Russia."

01:00Brzezinski added, "...of Russian money," which his son Eric says there's a lot of. Sanders

01:04called their claims an egregious stretch, while Scarborough accused her of twisting his words.

01:09Sanders said, "...we've had almost an entire year that they have spent. The House committees,

01:14the Senate committees, the FBI. Everybody has looked into this, and everybody comes to the

01:19same conclusion." Brzezinski interrupted her there to say, "...you're actually not telling

01:24the truth right now." Sanders replied, "...that's a pretty bold claim." Early Wednesday morning,

01:28Trump took to Twitter to comment on the firing, saying that both parties will thank him once

01:33the dust settles. For more on this story and to watch the full Morning Joe segment, head to THR.com.
