“Chelsea Manning has served a tough prison sentence,” Obama said. “I feel very comfortable that justice has been served.”

Obama also refused to comment on a few dozen lawmakers refusing to attend Trump’s inauguration.

“I’m not going to comment on those issues,” he said in the conference. “All I know is that I’m going to be there and so is Michelle,” he added, referring to the First Lady Michelle Obama.

Obama is also leasing a $4.3 million, nine-bedroom home in Washington’s Kalorama district, and it will serve as the family’s main base for the next two years as their youngest daughter, 15-year-old Sasha Obama, can finish high school at Sidwell Friends School.
