President Donald Trump told the press Monday that he doesn't need to use foreign materials or information to attack an opponent in a campaign. He then followed his comment with a false declaration that he never has in the past.
During the 2016 campaign, Trump commented about or quoted Wikileaks 164 times and 141 of those were in the final month of the campaign. The site's chief is now expected to be sent to the United States to stand trial for conspiring with Chelsea Manning to steal American documents and publish them online.
Trump only said he "would agree" to not using foreign information.
Below is the video compilation from Ali Velshi that shows the 141 comments from the last month.
The internet was quick to call out the lie and speculate whether Trump's promise is another toothless claim he has no intention of keeping.
