The White House stonewalled Thursday when pressed for an explanation as to why President Donald Trump told a group of business leaders an implausible tale about his late uncle, a noted MIT professor, once teaching Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski.
The Independent asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the president’s bizarre anecdote during a routine press briefing, two days after Trump insisted that Kaczynski, who earned a bachelor's degree at Harvard and a master’s and a PhD at the University of Michigan before going on his deadly terror spree, had been a student of his famous uncle.
