Type: Outright LiesMar 18 2018 Severity: Targeted: James Comey
Donald Trump falsely accused former FBI Director James Comey of lying under oath during a response to a question from Senator Grassley last year. Trump used a trumped up Fox News segment to back up his claim that Comey was caught in a lie about authorizing his deputy to divulge classified information to reporters, but the transcript of Comey's testimony directly contradicts what Trump and Fox are claiming.
