EXCERPT:

PSAKI: “As I've said Josh, it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't meet the president’s standard. And it was important that we took a step to make that clear. And that included not just an apology directly from him, an apology directly from us at the highest levels there, but also a step to suspend him for one week without pay. And that in our view was -- was an important step to send the message that we do not find it acceptable.”
REPORTER: "But Jen, was the president involved in this discussion at all?" [crosstalk]
PSAKI: “No, I have not discussed it with the president. It was a decision I made with the approval of the chief of staff.”
