White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer might want to watch his back.

It might be Valentine’s Day but a certain staffer might be thinking about gutting him right about now.

During the Tuesday press briefing, he shot down a claim that White House aide Omarosa Manigault made to American Urban Radio‘s White House correspondent April Ryan in recent days that President Trump‘s administration is creating secret dossiers on reporters.

Spicer joked that they had binders. But then he seriously denied that there was any truth to what Omarosa told Ryan in the heat of an angry confrontation. Ryan said she was “physically threatened” by Omarosa outside the Oval Office last week. She told WaPo that she thought Omarosa, a former Apprentice villain, was going to assault her.

“She stood right in my face like she was going to hit me,” Ryan told WaPo.

At the time, Omarosa also allegedly informed Ryan — not a reporter known for taking any b.s. from anyone — that the White House had created “dossiers” on reporters.

Quick question: So who is lying?

The Mirror reached out to Ryan for comment.
