Spicer: “I Don’t Think There’s Any Question That It Was The Largest-Watched Inauguration Ever.” When asked if he stood by his claim that Trump’s inauguration “was the most-watched inaugural address,” Spicer doubled-down, claiming, “I don’t see any numbers that dispute that.” Spi cer added, “I don’t think there’s any question that it was the largest-watched inauguration ever.” From the January 23 White House press briefing:
Spicer: Secretary Tillerson’s Plane Can’t Accommodate Reporters Because “There’s An Element Of Cost-Savings At This Point That The Secretary Is Trying To Achieve.” CBS News’ Margaret Brennan asked Spicer during the March 10 press briefing if the White House “sign [ed] off” on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s plan to travel to Asia without the press. Spicer told Brennan that members of the press corps would be “traveling commercially” and that the reason the plane couldn’t accommodate reporters was because of “the size of the plane” and because “there’s an element of cost-savings at this point that the secretary is trying to achieve.” From the March 10 press briefing:
Wash. Post: Spicer “Falsely Accused Journalists Of Holding President Trump To A Different Standard Than They Applied To Former President Barack Obama, When It Comes To Criticizing The Judiciary.” The Washington Post ’s Callum Borchers debunked Spicer’s claim of a “double standard” in the media’s coverage of Trump’s attacks on the judiciary, noting that not only was “Trump’s rebuke” of the judiciary “far more intense than Obama’s,” but that Obama’s comments about the Citizens United ruling in his 2010 State of the Union address were “dissected at length on cable news,” “covered on the front page,” and were brought up “at the first White House press briefing after the State of the Union.” According to Borchers, “Once again, Spicer stood before a roomful of journalists and made an assertion that is totally at odds with the facts.” From the February 9 article:
CNN: Rosen Himself Debunked The Myth That His Phones Were Wiretapped. CNN reported that Rosen himself “shot down” the myth that his phones were wiretapped while appearing on “Fox & Friends on Sunday after the show’s hosts claimed his phones were tapped.” In reality, Rosen’s emails and phone records were subpoenaed by the Department of Justice after he “received classified information from a former State Department contractor.” From the March 8 article:
Spicer: Officials Reached “The Same Conclusion” That There Was “No Connection” Between The Trump Campaign And Russia. When asked about the possibility of former acting Attorney General Sally Yates testifying to the House Intelligence Committee about ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Spicer claimed that “every single person who has been briefed on this” found “that there is no connection” between the Trump White House and Russia. Later on in the briefing, Spicer doubled down on his claim, stating “Republican, Democrat, Obama-appointee, [and] career [civil servant] have all come to the same conclusion.” From the March 28 press briefing:
AP: “No Conclusions Have Been Reached At All.” The Associated Press (AP) disputed Spicer’s claim, writing, “The matter is being investigated by the FBI and two congressional committees, so no conclusions have been reached at all.” Additionally, the fact check pointed out, “Spicer's claim that even Democrats who have been briefed on the matter agree there was no collusion is at odds with statements from Democrats. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and a recipient of classified briefings, has said ‘there is more than circumstantial evidence now’ of a relationship between Russian interests and Trump associates.” From the March 29 fact check:
