Sarah Sanders said that other administrations routinely used NDAs. Just another lie.
Reporters in the room yelling "not true, Sarah" as she starts to say that NDA's were the norm in previous administrations

And almost every single reporter in that room spoke up against this when she said it. A rare occurrence, but a proper one. @jimsciutto @brianstelter @donlemon @CNNTonight @CNN https://t.co/P5KQHj5xP7

.@PressSec just repeated this lie. Previous NDA's have barred release of classified information, not preventing WH staffers from criticizing the administration in any way. https://t.co/WuAMrxVCDz

Fact Check: I just emailed w/ high ranking official from Obama Administration who said Obama & Clinton WH's did NOT have ppl sign NDA's. "That is not something we ever did in the Obama Administration and I am with someone who served in the Clinton WH and she confirmed the same." https://t.co/WKgOF26oML

Good piece on Trump’s legally dumb move in trying to enforce his NDA against #Omarosa. As @JRubinBlogger reports I said, though, that legally idiotic move could help Trump distract attention from his bigger problems — a central part of his strategy. https://t.co/3f9U2N9JeT

I served in the Clinton White House as Counselor to the President. No NDA. https://t.co/F95uznYnfM

FACT CHECK: Sarah Sanders today said “other White Houses have had people sign NDA’s. It’s standard.”
Not true!

Good NDA reporting from Politico. If true, then who is the party the NDA claimed would have standing to sue for "damages"? The federal government? The Trump 2020 campaign? Donald Trump? The Trump Organization? https://t.co/LJ48f4LkID pic.twitter.com/ZAvuFfDzQg

As this piece makes clear, the Trump White House use of NDAs was (is?) a disgrace, and the government lawyers who were involved should be asked to defend their role.https://t.co/rmlyOALqxr
