Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders partook in "unethical behavior" while employed by Donald Trump's White House, according to a former colleague's analysis.
Donald Trump's former deputy press secretary, Sarah Matthews, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to discuss a wide variety of Trump-related legal matters. Among those topics was the hush money criminal trial, where observers were recently treated to a story about Sanders purportedly managing Trump's affair while vowing to know nothing about it.
"What do you make of the idea Hope Hicks and Sarah Sanders, while in the White House, might have been part of a strategy, that phone call alleged by David Pecker to decide how to handle Karen McDougal?" the host asked. "Just two White House staffers being involved is the question?"

Matthews replied that, when she was working in the White House press shop, "this would be something that I would categorize as unethical behavior."
"To think that two employees of the White House whose salaries are being paid by taxpayer dollars are in cahoots with a media outlet to try to cover up an affair and involved in a hush money payment scheme, and that they had knowledge of this is definitely quite concerning," she added.
Regarding the potential testimony of Hicks, Matthews said she's "curious to see how her testimony shakes out."
"This is someone who was extremely close with Donald Trump, with him from the beginning of his campaign through his presidency," she said, before sharing reports that the two aren't as close anymore.
