Spicer dodged questions about Trump's 'tapes' 7 times.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer repeatedly refused to say Monday whether President Donald Trump is secretly recording his conversations.

Since Friday, the White House has refused to clarify Trump's morning tweet: "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press."



Trump told Fox News on Friday that he "won't talk about that."

Spicer said four times on Friday that Trump had "nothing further to add on that."

The White House spokesman again avoided reporters' questions Monday -- claiming seven more times that Trump, and therefore the White House, had nothing more to say.

Here are the seven times Spicer dodged reporters' questions Monday about whether the President of the United States is secretly recording private conversations he has with US officials and others:

1) "I think I made it clear last week that the President has nothing further on that."

2) "I was very clear that the President would have nothing further on that last week."

3) "I made it clear what the President's position is on that issue."

4) "The President has made it clear what his position is."

5) "I've answered the question over and over again the same way."

6) "That's his position. He said that he has nothing further to add"

7) "There's nothing further to add."
