President Trump denied that his chief of staff Mick Mulvaney was acting on his orders when Mulvaney reportedly directed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to pressure a federal agency to rebuke scientists who had contradicted Trump’s hurricane claims, Politico reports.
Said Trump: “No, I never did that — I never did that.”
He added: “When they talk about the hurricane and when they talk about Florida and Alabama, that is just fake news. Right from the beginning, it was a fake story.”
