'Of course we are denying the report,' Tim Murtaugh tells 'The Story'

The Atlantic magazine's recent report claiming President Trump described an American World War I cemetery in France as being "filled with losers" and referred to American war dead as "suckers" is "fake," Trump 2020 campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told "The Story" Friday.
"Of course we are denying the report, because it is fake," Murtaugh told host Jon Scott, adding that "there are others who were there in Paris, as well, Jon, including the head of the president's Secret Service detail, who said it also didn't happen."
Multiple current and former White House officials, including former National Security Adviser John Bolton, have denied Trump made the remarks described by The Atlantic. Bolton told Fox News Friday, "I didn't hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them."
However, a former senior administration official who accompanied the president on the trip to France said Trump described the Vietnam War as "a stupid war" and said "anyone who went was a sucker."
The same official told Fox News the president would often say of American veterans, "What's in it for them? They don't make any money."

"He [Bolton] said if he had heard the president say those things, he would have written an entire chapter in his book about it," recalled Murtaugh. "I don't know what happened to journalism, where they [The Atlantic] have these four anonymous sources, they won't come forward and put their names on it, but The Atlantic is happy to run the story, and it happens to come out exactly at the moment where Joe Biden is in free fall in the polls."
Murtaugh added that Biden should be answering for the Veterans Affairs "scandals" during the Obama administration, when "people were waiting months, even years on waiting lists ... [and] left to die on gurneys in the hallway."

"That is what President Trump cleaned up, and other veterans are getting the care they deserve and that is how the president shows his reverence for military veterans ... and he has restored veterans' faith in the health care they receive, getting better access, better choices, and better treatment," he said. "That is how President Trump approaches the military."

President Barack Obama is going Hollywood — again.
And you don't have to be a Tinseltown VIP to meet Obama and first lady Michelle face-to-face.
But it will cost you – and big!
On July 23, the president will attend a photo reception and dinner at the home of Shonda Rhimes, producer of the ABC medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" and the political thriller "Scandal," with "Scandal" star Kerry Washington hosting.
The price for attending the photo reception and taking a photo with the president is $5,000 per person.
For a mere $10,000, you can also sit down to dinner with Obama.
Is Obama running again? Not exactly, but he is filling the coffers of the DNC.
Earlier, on July 15, Michelle Obama will attend a small roundtable discussion and field questions for an hour. Attendance will set a guest back $5,000.
Packages are also available. The $15,000 special includes attendance for two guests at the Michelle Obama roundtable and the July 23 reception and photo with the president.
And the $25,000 package includes the first lady roundtable plus a seat at a small roundtable with President Obama on July 24.
And for a tidy $32,000, two guests can attend the photo reception and dinner with the president, and one can claim a seat at the president's roundtable on July 24.
The July visit will reportedly be President Obama's 18th fundraising trip to Los Angeles since he took office.
In September, he appointed Rhimes to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Board of Directors.

Pelosi Wanted a Bailout of the Kennedy Center in the Stimulus Bill, but Employees Just Found Out They Aren’t Going to Be Paid
RedState
Posted at 11:00 am on March 29, 2020 by Nick Arama
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) fought very hard to get Democratic pork and pet programs into the stimulus bill that was just signed, even as her delay was costing Americans their jobs and the failure to move on it was having businesses go under.
An Italian food business near where I live that had always operated on a string just went under in that time. Thanks, Nancy Pelosi for your sage leadership. Those people managed to stay in operation for years until this did them in.
One of the things that Pelosi pushed for that stayed in the bill was $25 million for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. One of the arguments for keeping it in was that they had employees that they need to cover like other business entities.
But apparently the money isn’t going to keep all those employees, because even after the bill was signed, the Kennedy Center told the members of the National Symphony Orchestra that they weren’t going to be paid, according to an email about which the Free Beacon reported.
