The director went on to say that he thinks that voters in Alabama should ultimately decide whether Moore is elected to the Senate.
Mulvaney’s comments come as President Trump faces scrutiny for largely avoiding talking about the allegations facing Moore.
“I do think the president has talked about Roy Moore. I think he said that he thinks the voters of Alabama should decide. I think that’s probably the most common sense way to look at it. He doesn’t know who to believe,” Mulvaney told Mitchell.
The president also faced backlash last week after he launched an attack on Democratic Sen.

Mulvaney said Franken and Moore must be put into two different categories because Franken has admitted to sexual misconduct.
“I think one of the significant differences there, Andrea, is that Franken admits it and Roy Moore denies it. So I do think that puts them in two different categories,” he said.
