First off, lay off the left leaning CNN. You are never going to get a reliable story from them. Also, what are you talking about? And what lies are you referring to?

Basically, Trump fired the FBI director who is leading an investigation into Trump's ties with Russia, right after Comey reportedly asked for more funds for the investigation. The White House explained this action by saying that Trump fired him based on the advice of Jeff Sessions (who had to previously recuse himself of any dealings with the Russia investigation because he lied under oath about not meeting with Russian officials), and Rosenstein, with the reasoning that Comey was too mean to Hillary in 2016 in how he handled the case with her emails. Something both Trump and Sessions praised Comey for multiple times.

Now today, Trump said in an interview that he would have fired Comey anyway, regardless of what Sessions and Rosenstein said in the letter. Which is the opposite of what the White House claimed.

But where is the lie?
