The conservation event had never been announced. Trump's lead-in to talk about hosting an event at the WH was, "We have Cory Gardner running..."

We report what the president is saying, and then report what his aides say when they clean it up.

And that seems the responsible way.

Aide says Trump was set to do a Gardner fundraiser in CO, as well as a roundtable on land and water conservation, though the roundtable had not been announced.

When Trump gives away the game, believe him.

Conservation? Trump? Gardner? That just doesn't pass the straight face test.
