Piers Morgan Posts Clip Of Trump Appearing To Walk Out Of Interview. New Audio Suggests That’s False.
Daily wire
On Wednesday afternoon, British media personality Piers Morgan posted a video clip from an interview that is set to air with former President Donald Trump next week that is generating controversy over whether it was deceptively edited. The clip appears to show Trump storming out of the interview, while subsequent reporting suggests that is not what happened.
The report says that Trump’s remark about the interview being “very deceptive” was in reference to the interview going longer than Morgan apparently indicated.
“Is that the last question? You’ve said ‘the last question’ four times now,” a spokesman for Trump told Morgan. “So I feel like you’re lying at this point.”
“I’m not lying,” Morgan said.
“Very deceptive,” Trump responded.
Morgan then proceeded to ask more questions.
“This is a pathetic attempt to use President Trump as a way to revive the career of a failed television host,” a spokesman for Trump said in a statement. “It is also another example of President Trump being right, as he told Piers Morgan that the host was dishonest to his face, and Piers, for the first time in his life, didn’t disappoint.”
Trump later released a statement claiming that Morgan “attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me.”
