The Trump administration supports the current version of a bill to sanction Russia, the new White House press secretary said, although her boss, Anthony Scaramucci, wouldn‘t guarantee that President Donald Trump will sign it.

The legislation, which could soon land on Trump‘s desk for a signature, wasn‘t the only area where Trump‘s hand-picked communications director differed from others in the administration on Sunday after taking the job on Friday.

Scaramucci and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, also named to her role on Friday, along with Jay Sekulow, one of Trump‘s lawyers, were the administration‘s collective face on Sunday‘s political talk shows. The interviews came days after both teams were shaken up in an effort by Trump to impose order on his White House in the face of a widening Russia probe.
