'Does the president not trust the Speaker of the House with sensitive national security information?' Chris Wallace asked.
Pence argued that wasn't the case."I don't think that was the implication at all," he said. The vice president insisted that Trump's only goal was"a successful mission," attempting to shift attention away from the question."We maintained the tightest possible security here," Pence replied, highlighting the logistics of the operations."I just couldn't be more proud," he asserted.
Pence again deflected the direct question, emphasizing that Trump's"focus" was on the success of the mission. "No, I didn't," the president said, after he was asked by a journalist."I wanted to make sure this kept secret, I didn't want to have men lost, and women, I didn't want people lost." The president also complained during the press conference that there are too many leaks in Washington, saying he was concerned about the safety of the mission.
