Mick Mulvaney says Trump didn't know about the request to hide the USS John S. McCain from his view
Mulvaney was asked on “Fox News Sunday“ if anyone in the White House would be disciplined over the move, but dismissed the premise of the question.
"For what? For asking an innocuous question about that? No," he said. "Does someone get disciplined at Fox News for saying that so-and-so does not want to sit next to so-and-so at a meeting? No. Again this is a minor issue that we think the media is trying to make into a larger matter." He elaborated that there are many people involved in the lead-up to the president's overseas travel and that any one of them could have "asked this question."
"If a 23- or 24-year-old person says, 'Look, is it really a good idea for this ship to be in the background?' — that is not an unreasonable question to have and it certainly is not something that takes up two minutes of national television on Sunday," he said.
