Donald Trump spoke of two phone calls he got. But, as the White House confirms, he never got those phone calls
President Donald Trump’s own White House has undercut his stories about two supposed phone calls from the Boy Scouts and the Mexican president. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that Trump had not received phone calls from either the Boy Scout leader or President Enrique Peña Nieto. Although she admitted that there had not been any phone calls, she stopped short of confessing that the exchanges were entirely fabricated. In addition to claiming that “multiple members of the Boy Scouts leadership” had praised Trump in person for his controversial Boy Scouts speech last week, she argued that Nieto had discussed border enforcement with Trump during the G20 summit meeting in Germany last month. “I wouldn’ t say it was a lie — that’s a pretty bold accusation. The conversations took place, they just simply didn’ t take place over a phone call, they happened in person, ” Sanders said.
