Pirro said she hadn’t coordinated her comments with the president and had no contact with him.
Aides close to Ryan told NBC News later that Ryan and the president spoke again on Sunday.
“The president was clear his tweet had nothing to do with the speaker,” the aides said. “They are both eager to get back to work on the agenda.”
Earlier Sunday, Trump attacked conservative lawmakers on Twitter for the bill’s failure.
“Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!” he tweeted.
Trump initially placed the blame on Democrats.
“Obamacare is exploding,” he said in the Oval Office on Friday. “With no Democrat support, we couldn’t quite get there. We were just a very small number of votes short in terms of getting our bill passed.”
He thanked Republicans in the House, especially Ryan, saying “I think Paul really worked hard” to get the bill passed.
