Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Monday an
announcement would come "when the president is ready to make it."
The U.S. Secret Service said Monday it
doesn't have any recordings or transcripts of any tapes recorded within
President Donald Trump's White House, a disclosure that failed to rule out
whether any tapes exist of Trump's conversations with ousted FBI director James
Comey.
The agency made the disclosure in response to a freedom of information request by The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper noted that it doesn't exclude the possibility of recordings created by another entity.
Trump has been coy about whether any recordings exist of his private conversations with Comey, who was fired by the president in May. Trump raised the possibility of tapes last month and told reporters last week that he would discuss their potential existence "in the very near future."
White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday an announcement would come "when the president is ready to make it."
"I think the president made it very clear on Friday that he would get back as soon as possible on this and his position on that conversation," Spicer added when asked by reporters about the reason for Trump's "delay." "When he's ready to further discuss, he will."
