Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, defended on Friday a claim she made in 2017 that the White House had heard from “countless” people who worked at the F.B.I. who had lost confidence in Mr. Comey, then the director.

During an interview with the special counsel that is detailed in the report, Ms. Sanders said her choice of words was a “slip of the tongue.” When investigators asked her why she repeated the “countless” claim — which reporters had questioned her on — in a separate interview, she said it was made “in the heat of the moment that was not founded on anything.”
