TV News LIES

The Donald swore he had access to classified information. The folks with access to no-shit secrets say that’s a lie.

U.S. national security officials are literally laughing at Donald Trump’s claim that he watched a “top secret” Iranian-military produced video showing its government scurrying to grab pallets filled with hundreds of millions of dollars.

“It didn’t happen,” one U.S. official said. “That was not part of any briefing.”

Although she may be a proud citizen, Trump’s own statements suggest she may not have followed all applicable laws, immigration experts say.

In a January profile in Harper’s Bazaar, Trump said she would return home from New York to renew her visa every few months. “It never crossed my mind to stay here without papers.

As he runs for president, Donald Trump has a massive business deal underway with the federal government: a luxury hotel in the iconic, taxpayer-owned Old Post Office building, just five blocks from the White House. Now, a newly released document gives a glimpse into how Trump channels money to his children. It also shows that Trump leveraged a mere $2.4 million equity investment to gain control of the $200 million project.

Despite the fact that the deal concerns a beloved landmark owned by the public, key parts of the project — including who exactly owns it and how much money Trump actually invested — have remained secret. By using the Freedom of Information Act to appeal a previous denial of records, BuzzFeed News gained access to the new document: a key part of the 2013 lease Trump signed with the federal government to take over the Old Post Office building.

President Obama said today Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is "unfit to serve as president."
