Van Hollen: Trump is 'lying' about talks with Iranians

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Monday that President Trump is “lying” about holding talks with Iranian officials.

“We know he’s lying when he says that the Iranians are talking with us and they’re about to give Donald Trump everything he wants. Yes, that’s a lie,” Van Hollen told host Kasie Hunt on CNN’s “The Arena.”



Axios reported Monday, citing an Israeli official, that Witkoff and Kushner were in touch with Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament.

However, Ghalibaf on Monday denied that negotiations between the two sides are taking place, writing on the social platform X that “fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped.”

It’s a sad day when you trust the news out of Iran more than your own President who lies about everything.
