Sanders: "The White House values diversity" & here are the official staff diversity numbers:



Washington (CNN) White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declined on Wednesday to say how many African-Americans work at the White House, but said the White House is "going to continue to try to diversify this staff."

In the eight months since Manigault Newman was fired, Trump has yet to appoint a single African-American to a senior White House role as either an assistant or a deputy assistant to the President.
"I'm not going to go through and do a count," Sanders said. "We would love to diversify our staff and continue to do so."

CNN earlier this week reported that none of the 48 assistants and deputy assistants to Trump are black.
