White House spokesperson on Monday declined to comment on Special counsel John Durhamโ€™s allegations that Hillary Clintonโ€™s 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) spied on former President Donald Trumpโ€™s residences and the White House when he was in office in order to bring a โ€œnarrativeโ€ to federal government agencies linking him to Russia.

Deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked three times at a press briefing by Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich to answer questions regarding the allegations.

But each time, the White House spokesperson referred her to the Department of Justice.

โ€œDoes the President have any concerns about a candidate for president using computer experts to infiltrate computer systems of competing candidates, or even the president-elect toโ€”for the goal of creating a narrative?โ€ Heinrich asked.

โ€œThatโ€™s something I canโ€™t speak to from this podium, so I refer you to the Department of Justice,โ€ Jean-Pierre initially answered.

โ€œIs whatโ€™s being described in that reportโ€”monitoring internet trafficโ€”is that spying?โ€ Heinrich then asked, to which Jean-Pierre responded, โ€œAgain, I canโ€™t speak to that report.  I refer you to the Department of Justice.โ€

Trying again to get an answer,ย Heinrich continued, โ€œGenerally speaking though, would monitoring Internet traffic beโ€”โ€ but was cut-off mid-sentence byย Jean-Pierre who replied, โ€œJacqui, my answer is not going to change. I refer you to the Department of Justice.โ€

The Epoch Times has contacted The Department of Justice for comment.

Meanwhile, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to answer questions regarding the alleged spying when asked by a Daily Mail reporter on Feb. 15.

Did you pay to spy on the Trump campaign,โ€ Hillary was asked by the reporter in New York City. โ€œWhen are you going to comment on the spying allegations, Hillary?โ€

Clintonย declinedย to answer both questions and continued walking while waving at the reporter.
