After insisting that a media conspiracy is suppressing the footage of Muslim-Americans celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey that Donald Trump falsely claims he saw on TV, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski now claims that police officers witnessed the celebrations.

“We know it’s true,” he said in an interview yesterday with Virginia-based radio host John Fredericks. He cited a Washington Post article which he said “took into account police officers from Jersey City who saw these taking place.”

Incidentally, Lewandowski’s claim contradicts the findings of New Jersey’s top law enforcement officer at the time, who told the New York Times yesterday that an investigation found no evidence to substantiate initial rumors about such celebrations. Similarly, television networks did not broadcast any such footage, seeing that the celebrations never occurred.
