Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

White House Accuses Comey of Lying to Congress

HeadlineJun 09, 2017

At the White House, presidential spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared, “The president is not a liar.” Trump’s personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, suggested that Comey perjured himself during congressional testimony.

Marc Kasowitz: “The president never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone, including the president never suggested that Mr. Comey, quote, 'let Flynn go,' close quote.”

In a tweet early this morning, President Trump broke more than two days of Twitter silence, writing, “Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication…and WOW, Comey is a leaker!” For more on James Comey’s dramatic Senate testimony, we’ll host a roundtable discussion later in the broadcast.
