"THIS NEVER HAPPENED" : SOURCES CLOSE TO TRUMP RALLY TO HIS DEFENSE, AND AGAINST THE ATLANTIC STORY
https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/06/...e-to-trump-rally-defense-atlantic-story/


Many of them who accompanied Trump on the D-Day trip were quoted in the article. White House staffers, Pentagon officers and generals, reporters, even the fired John Bolton who has no loyalty to Trump, all say the allegation is absolutely false. At last count, 23 officials went on the record by name to say that by their firsthand observation of the president while accompanying him, Trump never said what was alleged.

And lone Jennifer Griffin says (not firsthand) that she has some anonymous source that alleges Trump said it. But won't go on the record.

Fake news. A vicious smear job.
