And we’re underway with @PressSec. 
"The two leaders committed to maintaining strong sanctions on North Korea," says @PressSec about phone call today between @POTUS and @AbeShinzo.
"He did nothing wrong," says @PressSec of payments to two women during #Election2016.
"I think that's a ridiculous accusation" that he lied, responds @PressSec to reporter's question.
"The Manafort case doesn't have anything to do with the president," replies @PressSec to question about whether @POTUS will pardon @PaulManafort.
"Free, fair and reciprocal trade" is what @POTUS would like to see coming out of this week's trade talks with #China for which he's expressed low expectations, says @PressSec responding to my question.
"There have been no discussions at the White House" about a pardon for @PaulManafort, replies @PressSec to @fran_chambers question.
"I'm not aware" of any foreknowledge by the @realDonaldTrump campaign of election year related hacking, says @PressSec.
"There is a working group that is looking at the overall security clearance process" for the US government, replies @PressSec to question from @debrajsaunders.
"The idea of an impeachment is frankly a sad attempt by Democrats" going into the midterms, says @PressSec.
And that ends 19 minutes of Q&A.
