What does 'spinners' mean in this sentence?
Hello,
I am reading an article of the Atlantic about Justin Trudeau and saw the following sentence.
'Could the situation get more absurd? Yes! On the evening of April 7, Trudeau’s spinners issued a statement denouncing Scheer for wasting the public’s time talking about issues irrelevant to Canadians’ real concerns—that is, by talking about the lawsuit Trudeau himself had initiated.'
What is 'spinners' here? Is a spinner like a spokesperson? Thank you so much!

aquablue2019 Is a spinner like a spokesperson? Yes — a spokesperson who is skilled in phrasing answers in a way that is beneficial to those he works for. That's called 'spinning' the information (often embarrassing) so that it comes out making somebody look good instead.
