ii. so let s get a few things straight here. let s start with an easy one, the president of course, and his statements about his knowledge of matt whitaker, the newly installed acting ag. take a listen. i can tell you, matt whita r whitaker s a great guy. i know matt whitaker. i don t know matt whitaker. matt whitaker worked for jeff sessions, and he was always extremely highly thought of, and he still is, but i didn t know matt whitaker. so let s start with the obvious. one of those two statements is a lie. whi which? the second. the man has met trump, been on the phone with trump, briefed trump. trump knows him. he s stepping away because whitaker is a problem. now, that bs video tweeted out by the white house of a cnn reporter at a press briefing. here s what the president said. nobody manipulated it. give me a break. see, that s just dishonest reporting. all that is is a close-up. info wars manipulated it.
