Politifact catches both presidential candidates in false statements

   July 7, 2016

PolitiFact, an independent fact-checking journalism website, has taken a look at Hillary Clinton’s statements regarding her emails and matched it against the FBI head James Comey’s press conference on Tuesday.

Clinton repeatedly said publicly, “I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.”

The independent FBI investigation has found that to be inaccurate. Read FBI findings tear holes in Hillary Clinton’s email defense.

PolitiFact also looked claims made by Donald Trump in run to GOP presidential nomination and found 17 times he said one thing and then denied. The denials involve issues ranging from women and Megyn Kelly to John McCain and Mark Zuckerberg.

Truth may be taking a vacation during this election cycle.
