A career official in the White House security office says dozens of people in President Donald Trump’s administration were granted security clearances despite “disqualifying issues” in their backgrounds, including concerns about foreign influence, drug use and criminal conduct.Trump and his dutiful daughter have both denied overruling denials of security clearances.
So they lied. Which, in the Trump Administration, is almost an hourly occurrence.
Considering that the daily count stands at 22 and he has to sleep sometime, it's more than hourly:
ReplyDeleteWashington Post: “It was only 200 days ago, on his 601st day in office, that President Trump exceeded 5,000 false or misleading claims.”
“Now, on his 801st day, the count stands at 9,451, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement the president utters. That’s a pace of 22 fishy claims a day over the past 200 days, a steep climb from the average of nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in Trump’s first year in office.”
