Washington (CNN)A top Donald Trump surrogate admitted to falsifying some of his professional accomplishments after a contentious confrontation with CNN anchor Victor Blackwell.

South Carolina preacher Mark Burns, who regularly introduces Trump at his campaign events, had listed on his church's website that he had a Bachelor of Science degree and served six years in the Army Reserve.
Burns, however, was never in the Army Reserve. He was in the South Carolina National Guard, from which he was discharged in 2008, CNN found.

Especially after Helsinki, the shit he pulled with Kim Jong Un, the nonsense with NATO, GOP total collusion, etc. etc.
THIS is definitely bigger and scarier!

"I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David," Cohen said in the recording, likely a reference to American Media head David Pecker.


Interesting. I took that as a reference to "David Dennison", tRump's alter-ego in the non-disclosure agreements, rather than David Pecker.

"David Dennison" was the first consideration, and then Rachel said it might also be David Pecker.

CNN was given the tape exclusively by Lanny Davis - other news outlets (like MSNBC) are sharing the info from the CNN exclusive.

when he's questioned in front of his invited leaders and diplomats. It's getting to him that he's being publicly belittled.

It's all beginning to unravel, isn't it? Hold on tight...the best is yet to come!
