CNN fact-checker spends four minutes debunking Trump's multiple 'lies' in his speech to US military top brass

The president addressed senior military leaders in Quantico, Virginia on Tuesday morning in a wide-ranging speech that, according to CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale, included “a lot of lies.”

"There were just so many false claims, and I say that after essentially every speech, unfortunately, from Donald Trump, but I think this is notable because of the audience,” Dale told the network. “He was telling a lot of lies and saying a lot of other inaccurate things, regardless of his intentions, to the U.S.'s top military leaders.”
