White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, during a 2017 press conference, lied about the circumstances surrounding James Comey’s ouster as FBI director, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s newly released report.

On May 10, 2017, Sanders told reporters that President Donald Trump had decided to fire Comey a day earlier, only after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein recommended he do so.

But Mueller’s nearly 400-page report, a redacted version of which was released to the public on Thursday, states otherwise.

“Substantial evidence” indicates Trump fired Comey for refusing to publicly state that the president wasn’t personally under investigation, according to the report.

“In the immediate aftermath of the firing, the President dictated a press statement suggesting that he had acted based on the [Department of Justice] recommendations, and White House press officials repeated that story,” Mueller wrote in his report. “But the President had decided to fire Comey before the White House solicited those recommendations.”

The report continues: “Although the President ultimately acknowledged that he was going to fire Comey regardless of the Department of Justice’s recommendations, he did so only after DOJ officials made clear to him that they would resist the White House’s suggestion that they had prompted the process that led to Comey’s termination.”

What’s more, Sanders claimed during that White House press briefing that the “rank-and-file of the FBI had lost confidence in their director.”
