California Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Donald Trump of lying on September 10, following an anecdote the President shared regarding his experiences near the site of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, The Hill reported.
The controversy began after the President spoke at a White House event honoring first responders. During his remarks, the President described being at One Liberty Plaza, which was formerly known as the U.S. Steel Building, when it began to creak. He claimed that two firefighters grabbed his arms and provided assistance during the chaos.
