White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday defended herself as an “honest person” whose “credibility is probably higher than the media’s” even as she again refused to discuss her misleading claim that President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

"I think you all know I'm an honest person who works extremely hard to provide you with accurate information at all times," Sanders told reporters at her daily press briefing.

Tuesday marked the second consecutive day Sanders was peppered with questions about her comments, which have raised questions about her credibility.

Sanders shot back at reporters who asked why they should trust her claims.

"Frankly I think my credibility is probably higher than the media's and I think in large part that's because you guys spend more of your time focused on attacking the president than reporting the news,” she said.

The comments came a day after Trump's outside lawyers stood by their claim that the president did indeed dictate the statement.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said no one had lied about the information, and that the original denial was "a mistake" on the White House's part.

“I don’t think anybody’s lying,” Giuliani said on CNN. “I think a mistake was made.”

Sanders said she did not want to "get into a back-and-forth" about her initial comments about the Trump Tower meeting and again referred reporters to the president's team of private attorneys.
