(CNN) - Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday aggressively denied that he admitted last week a quid pro quo between President Donald Trump and Ukraine, saying again that he was misunderstood and that no such agreement occurred.

The plan came out of the limited satellite sites the party allowed four years ago. "We know that satellite caucuses expand participation because it did just that in 2016." Satellite caucus sites held in-state will be rolled up into an additional "virtual county" within each congressional district as determined by location, similar to the original virtual caucus plan. Accessibility organizers will ensure satellite sites have the proper training and resources to hold the vote. Nevada's virtual caucus plan was also rejected, but their early in-person voting options complied with the DNC's requirements.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to remove "virtual caucusing" from Iowa's and Nevada's 2020 caucus plans on Friday, giving the states about two weeks to form an alternative proposal. "While today's decision is not unexpected, we are still disappointed," Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price said in a statement after the vote. "It is unfortunate the DNC won't allow us to go forward with the virtual caucus in 2020," Nevada State Democratic Party Chair William McCurdy II said in a statement. Rules committee members lamented their vote against virtual caucusing, citing their desire to expand voting in the primary process. Multiple rules committee members echoed the accusation against the Republican Party of failing to protect voting.
