“No, and I think that’s an absolutely ridiculous question,” Sanders shot back before calling on another reporter.
"It's not a ridiculous question," Ryan said without prompting an additional response from Sanders.

Ryan's question comes one day after the FBI raided the New York office of Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
The president responded to the raid Tuesday morning, declaring that "attorney-client privilege is dead!" and calling special counsel Robert Mueller

“It’s a real disgrace,” Trump said to reporters at the White House on Monday afternoon after news of the raid broke. "It’s an attack on what we all stand for.”
“We’ll see what happens. … Many people have said, ‘You should fire him,’ ” the president added when asked if he was considering firing Mueller.

The exchange between Sanders and Ryan on Tuesday adds to a series of noteworthy barbs the two have thrown at each other.
Most notably, around Thanksgiving, Ryan questioned whether Sanders actually baked a pecan pie featured in a photo she shared on Twitter.
