Both Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed Thursday that widespread rumors that Ryan will leave Congress after his current term ends are false.
After telling reporters at her daily press briefing that President Donald Trump had immediately called Ryan after reports of his imminent retirement hit the press. According to Sanders, Ryan “assured the president that those were not accurate reports and that they look forward to working together for a long time.”
Ryan himself was more terse in his denial, responding to a shouted question about his departure at his weekly press conference with a simple, “I’m not, no.”
