White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Claims Trump Has Never Lied To The American Public”
As it was previously reported, in recorded phone interviews with an author back in February, Donald Trump can be heard giving a different assessment of COVID in private than he was giving to the public as the virus was spreading from China to other parts of the world. “This is deadly stuff,” the president told Woodward, according to excerpts from the book published by The Washington Post and CNN.

“You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,’ Trump told him in a Feb. 7 call. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.” While some claim Trump was trying to downplay the pandemic to prevent Americans from panicking, others accused Trump of lying to the Americans.
However, during a Wednesday press conference, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said President Donald Trump ‘never lied to the American public” on the coronavirus pandemic. “This president does what leaders do. Stay calm and resolute at a time when you face a challenge,” she said.
McEnany added that President Trump never “downplayed the virus” while noting that he was handling the situation while impeachment proceedings were happening on Capitol Hill.
“The president never downplayed the virus. The president expressed calm and he was serious about this when Democrats were pursuing their sham impeachment,’ she said.
