Shocker! Serial Liar Caught Telling Another Big Fat Lie
Former President Donald Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading statements during his four years in office, so it's the least surprising news of the day that he's been caught in yet another lie. This time, it's a lie that involves his rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a story he told on his flailing Truth Social platform.
In November, the former President claimed that he sent federal agents to Florida to fight "voter fraud," and that move helped DeSantis win his 2018 gubernatorial election.
"I sent in the FBI, and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just before them running out of the votes necessary to win," he wrote, in part. "I stopped his Election from being stolen."
Not so fast, buddy. There is no record of Trump's claims.
CREW reports:
In response to a lawsuit brought by CREW, the Department of Justice wrote that the Office of the Attorney General had no records relating to Trump sending federal law enforcement to Florida in connection with the 2018 election. The FBI previously told CREW and others that it also had no records of Trump’s claims actually happening.
