Watch Replay: Sean Spicer's Press Briefing, Faces Queries On Health Care, Leaks

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held a televised briefing Wednesday afternoon.

Spicer announced in his opening statement that the White House is planning to host the annual Easter Egg Roll, despite rumors that the event might be canceled. He also stated that the economy is going strong under the new president and more jobs are being created than observers had expected.

In response to a question about the "Day Without Women" strike, Spicer said that he did not think any female White House Staff were took the day off from work to participate.

He also defended the new Republican health care bill's tax credit, which some conservatives have criticized. He pointed out that people with government-provided and employer-provided health insurance benefit from tax incentives, and that the new plan just expands tax benefits to people in the individual markets.

One reporter pointed out that many of the people making health care policy decisions might not appreciate the situation of the people in the individual market, and that people like Spicer, with health insurance, are "fine."

"I'm not fine, " Spicer said, arguing that Obamacare affected everyone who buys health insurance.

Spicer also urged that opponents of the new plan should consider the status quo and join the repeal effort. He also noted that the president is in "sell mode" rather than "listening mode" with regards to the health care bill, indicating that the White House does not intend to change much about the existing text.

Spicer also denied that getting an estimate of the bill's cost by the Congressional Budget Office was not that important, given the CBO's historical inaccuracies, including its predictions of Obamacare's enrollment numbers.

"CBO was way off the last time," he said. "If you're looking to the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place."

Asked about the recent WikiLeaks documents that purport to show classified CIA documents, Spicer would not confirm or deny the truth of the information, but said everyone should be more concerned about leaks generally.

When confronted with Trump's campaign remarks that he "loves WikiLeaks," Spicer argued that the leaking of hacked campaign emails was vastly different from the leaking of classified information about national security.
