The president's attorney, Jay Sekulow, said last month that the president was not involved in drafting the statement. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said last week, however, that the president weighed in, "as any father would."

"The most important thing that press secretary Sarah Sanders said there, which was completely true, was there was no consequence to any of these meetings," Conway said on Sunday.

"The president's lawyer said he wasn't involved at all. They didn't tell the truth," Stephanopoulos shot back.

Conway's comments come at a time when both the Justice Department and several congressional panels are investigating whether Trump campaign associates colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
