White House won't comment on Stormy Daniels allegations

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders would not comment on Stormy Daniels' allegations of a sexual encounter with President Trump in 2006.

"We've addressed it extensively, there's just nothing else to add," Sanders said in the White House press briefing Monday. "Just because you guys continue to ask the same question over and over and over again doesn't mean we need to keep coming up with new things to say. We've addressed it. We've addressed it significantly and there's nothing new to add to this conversation."

Daniels, the adult film star also known as Stephanie Clifford, is currently suing to get out of a non-disclosure agreement that prevents her from discussing her alleged affairs with the president. Mr. Trump has remained largely silent on the issue both in person and on Twitter, although has denied having an affair with Daniels. 

"I don't think it's silent when the president has addressed this," Sanders said.

Sanders said that the president reserves the right to be selective about which issues he addresses.

"Sometimes he chooses to specifically engage and punch back and sometimes he doesn't," she said. 

It is unclear if Mr. Trump watched Daniels' interview on "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday.
