"I can definitively say the President is not a liar" – Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in off-camera briefing at the White House

While testifying before the Senate, former FBI Director James Comey called President Trump a liar while discussing the reasons the White House gave for his firing.
The White House’s claim that Trump isn’t a liar is itself a lie. Trump is the biggest liar in presidential history. PolitiFact found that only 17% of Trump’s statements are true. There has never been a president with a more extensively proven track record of lying than Donald Trump. For the White House to stand in front of the country and defend Trump’s honesty, it demonstrates that no one working at the White House has a single shred of credibility.
