      Lying requires intent to deceive. Honestly, at this point, I can’t be sure trump has any grip on reality so might actually believe that he never said it.

      Falsely claims accurately depicts what happened without assuming intent. It’s a way to cover their butt.

      I’m seeing a trendy way of doing the headline:

      “Trump claims he never said lock her up. He did. Several times.”

      Or some variation.

      "All the times Trump said “Lock her up”

      “Trump said “Lock her up”, now claims he never did”

        What I would like is for them to show him the evidence and then see what he says.
