According to the Washington Post:
“I will never lie to you,” McEnany replied [to a question by a reporter]. “You have my word on that.”
Fifteen minutes later, she raised a subject no one had asked about and quickly offered an obviously false claim about it.
... “I am glad that you brought up justice, and — because, look, there is, again, a case of injustice that has yet to be brought up today, but I certainly would like to bring it up,” she said. “And that’s the case of General Michael Flynn.”
She offered a rough presentation of the case being made by Flynn’s defenders that the former national security adviser was railroaded into accepting a guilty plea after misrepresenting his 2016 interactions with Russia’s ambassador during a conversation with FBI investigators. This week, the Justice Department released documents centered on the investigation, which included notes written before Flynn was interviewed by the FBI at the White House. They’ve been touted as a smoking gun showing bias against Flynn, though that interpretation is dubious.
What the notes did not say is what McEnany said they did.
Did Press Secretary McEnany lie about what the FBI notes say?
