Asked whether President Trump had ever used the N-word, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders would not definitively say, instead referring reporters to his tweet.

“The President addressed that question directly,” she said, adding, “I’ve never heard him use that term or anything similar.”

Pressed specifically on whether any recording of the President using the racial epithet exists, Sander said: “I can’t guarantee anything, but I can tell you that the President addressed this question directly.”

She noted that Trump is someone who is “fighting for all Americans,” and his policies are helpful “particularly for African Americans,” citing African American unemployment statistics.
