She obviously knew, otherwise she would have answered the question. I think the reasoning behind it is this news story just went from "UK PM knew about Trident misfire near US coast before vote was held on Trident renewal" to "UK PM dodges question on Trident misfire".
This is not the first time she has done this. The most recent one that springs to mind is when she was asked whether or not the new government had contingency plans if talks with the EU broke down. Instead of giving a direct yes or no answer, she refused to even acknowledge that there was a chance of talks not going well. I think she is seriously overplaying her hand.
I hated Cameron but at least he had an answer, shitty as it may have been.

In what scenario does this strategy work? She is clearly avoiding the answer. That doesn't make everyone just go, "welp, guess she didn't fucking know". Its the opposite effect. I assume she did know.
Who is that suppose to work for? Someone who is watching the news, trying to stay at least a little bit informed. But then they see her walk around a direct question so blatantly. What else is someone going to think?
Its insanity.
