ABC’s Stephanopoulos trying to cut off the President’s lead counsel.

@ White House Twitter:



ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos was caught on air Friday gesturing to cut the network's feed of a press conference, as White House attorney Jay Sekulow was commenting on President Donald Trump's impeachment defense.

...Sekulow can be seen arguing that House Democrats have not met "basic fundamental Constitutional obligations" in their attempt to remove President Donald Trump from office in the ongoing impeachment trial in the Senate. As the attorney took another question from a reporter, the feed was cut and ABC returned to Stephanopoulos at the news desk, where he was actively making the throat-cutting signal to his crew.

As the Daily Wire's James Barrett beautifully described: "Realizing that his throat-slashing 'cut' gesture was caught on air, Stephanopoulos winced and offered a meek grin before rapidly moving on to a panel discussion on the latest developments in the trial. 'And that is Jay Sekulow right there,' says Stephanopoulos, still slightly grinning."

The video began circulating on social media as conservatives pointed to the timing of Stephanopoulos' cut and accused the anchor and his network of actively seeking to silence the defense of President Trump.
