From the transcript
If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or follow the president's directive? Like I said last year, the president wouldn't have me do that. And I would follow the law. And I said last year I would follow the law, and I will follow the law. Well, the first part of your answer is the problem because there's almost daily evidence now of the president directing people or breaking the law himself.
