WH: Trump's Boy Scouts, Mexico, Phone Call Claims Not a Lie

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Donald Trump’s claim that leaders from the Boy Scouts called him to praise the aggressive political speech he gave last week at the national jamboree was not a lie, even as she acknowledged that no such call was made. She also defended another of the president’s inaccurate claims, this one about a phone call from Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto – which never happened. “They were direct conversations,” Sanders said. “Not actual phone calls.”
