CNN: Trump Says He Hasn’t Met Accusers, Despite Photo Evidence

Tapper: ‘When Trump says he doesn’t know and/or hasn’t met these women, that’s a lie’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "This also comes, Kirsten, I should note, as the president continues to dismiss the many allegations against him. He wrote on Twitter today, quote, despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don't know and/or have never met. All caps, fake news. We should note that if you look at the panoply of women who have come forward, this is false. Some of the women who have accused the president participated in pageants that Mr. Trump owned, such as then Ms. Finland here with Mr. Trump during a "Late Show" appearance. Here is trump with temple Taggart, former Ms. Utah. Will Jill hearth, summer Zervos was a contestant on "The apprentice." She was fired by trump himself. Take a listen."

ZERVOS: "I'm being truthful and I'll always be truthful."
TRUMP: "How stupid is that? Summer, you're fired."

TAPPER: "When Trump says he doesn't know and/or hasn't met these women, that's a lie. We should point out the White House said -- Sarah Sanders said he was only referring to the three specifically that came out yesterday."
