The press briefing was short, with only a handful of questions being answered. One question asked why President Donald Trump and the administration are claiming that there was collusion between Russia and the Clintons during the campaign.
Sanders brought up the point a number of times to reiterate its importance through the briefing, and when questioned about any evidence the administration could provide, she said that she addressed the question already.
When pushed for an answer, Sanders said "I'm saying that I'm calling on your colleague."
Sanders criticized Democrats for not backing Trump's health care bill which Sanders says would have provided $45 billion to help fight the opioid crisis.
The influence that the Trump administration might have had over getting Whitefish Energy a contract to rebuild Puerto Rico's energy grid was questioned.
Sanders said that the decision to hire Whitefish Energy was up to local officials in Puerto Rico and the Federal Government has nothing to do with the decision-making process.
Ryan Zinke's connection to Whitefish Energy and its ability to get the contract were questioned by one reporter, due to Zinke's large donations to Trump's campaign.
Sanders said that the administration couldn't comment on the situation until an audit is released on the company and its relief efforts.
