Trump Lies Again re conversation with Blackstone Group Founder-Spokesperson: "No such chat occurred"

President Donald Trump is on tape saying he had a conversation with Blackstone Group Inc. founder Steve Schwarzman about former Vice President Joe Biden’s son. On Friday, Schwarzman’s spokeswoman disputed that account.

................


“I was with the head of Blackstone, which is the big deal,” the president said, before quoting their conversation. “Steve, is that possible?” Trump recalled asking, noting that Schwarzman eventually demurred by saying, “Maybe I shouldn’t get involved, you know it’s very political.”

Jennifer Friedman, a spokeswoman for Schwarzman, denied that any such chat occurred: “Steve never spoke to the president about Joe Biden or his family, nor has he had any conversations with the Chinese about Biden or his family,” she said in a statement to Bloomberg after the Washington Post reported the response.

“Steve was never asked by anyone, and has never had, conversations with the Chinese about Joe Biden or his family,” she added.
