Washington (CNN) A press secretary for President Donald Trump's reelection campaign disputed an assertion by CNN's Chris Cuomo that the President frequently lies -- despite well-documented evidence to the contrary -- and dismissed Russia's interference in the 2016 election.

Discussing the media's treatment of Trump, CNN's Chris Cuomo said on "Cuomo Prime Time" Wednesday night that Trump would not be as strongly criticized "if he didn't lie."

"He doesn't lie. Guess who lies? The press lies. And don't take it from me -- take it from Jim Comey," Kayleigh McEnany said, referencing the former FBI director.

"You don't think this President has lied to the American people?" Cuomo asked.

"No, I don't think the President has lied," she replied, before accusing without evidence some news networks of "lying to the American people."
