Bret Baier Shuts Down Trump Campaign Spokesperson’s Lies About Woodward Tapes
On Thursday’s edition of Special Report, Fox anchor Bret Baier interviewed both Biden national press secretary TJ Ducklo and Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh about Trump’s intentional efforts to downplay the severity of the coronavirus pandemic back in February and March.
But as Murtaugh went on to claim that Trump was saying the “same things” publicly that he was telling Woodward, Baier stopped him in his tracks.
“That’s not true, Tim” the anchor said, interrupting his
guest. “It’s not true. When he was saying publicly that the virus would
go from 15 to zero and then it was magically going to wash away, that is
not the same thing he’s telling Bob Woodward, that it’s a deadly virus
that travels over the air and it’s really serious and ‘I like to
downplay it.’ He was not saying the same things publicly that he was
privately to Bob Woodward.”

The White House press corps isn't paying enough attention to new and important developments surrounding the Justice Department's conduct in the Russia investigation, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on "Hannity" Friday.

"Now we learn what Mueller's team was doing," she said. "Several dozens, think about that, several dozens of devices returned damaged, wiped clean, some of them intentionally so. One of those devices was Andrew Weissmann's ... who was rebuked 9-0 by the Supreme Court for prosecutorial overreach and misconduct -- and Lisa Page too, among these offenders.
