President Donald Trump has criticized the accuracy of a Washington Post report that claimed the president told his aides he would pardon them if they had broken the law while carrying out orders to build the wall at the southern border quickly.

“Another totally Fake story in the Amazon Washington Post (lobbyist) which states that if my Aides broke the law to build the Wall (which is going up rapidly), I would give them a Pardon,” Trump wrote in a Twitter post on Aug. 28. “This was made up by the Washington Post only in order to demean and disparage - FAKE NEWS!”
