Conway defends Trump retweeting a baseless Epstein conspiracy

saying he wants 'everything to be investigated'

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway downplayed President Donald Trump retweeting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory about the death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - posted just hours after he was found dead of an apparent suicide.

Conway initially said on "Fux Noise Sunday" that she couldn't discuss the ongoing investigations into the convicted sex offender's death, but said Trump posted the theory because he "just wants everything to be investigated."

"There was some unsealed information implicating some people very high up ... I'm not saying anything beyond that," Conway told Fox News' Bill Hemmer. "But I will say that there's always this rush to say, 'We need transparency, we need accountability,' when it involves fictional accusations like collusion with Russia to swing an election."

Hemmer continued to press Conway about Trump's retweet, stating it was "clear what he was trying to say."

Never go there. It is not worth even saying it because you don't want to give people the wrong impression, just in case it is not true.

I am glad you held back.
