"I'm not aware of anybody," Mark Lotter responded when MSNBC host Nicole Wallace asked if anyone in the White House was concerned with any information about former Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos.

Papadopoulos reportedly discussed his connections to Russia at a meeting of Trump's foreign policy team, suggesting that he could organize a meeting between Trump and Putin.

"Right now all we have are indictments that have nothing to do with the president of the United States and the White House," Lotter said on MSNBC.

Lotter referred to Papadopoulos as a "30-year-old kid" who was "trying to build a portfolio for himself and kept getting shot down."

"I'm sure that everyone is taking the appropriate, necessary steps that they have to legally," Lotter said. "That is not something we discuss in the White House."
