President Donald Trump twice gave James Comey an alibi for why a salacious report about the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow couldn’t be true: He never even spent the night in Russia during that trip, Trump told the former FBI director, according to Comey’s memos about the conversations.

Yet the broad timeline of Trump’s stay, stretching from Friday, Nov. 8, 2013, through the following Sunday morning, has been widely reported. And it’s substantiated by social media posts that show he slept in Moscow the night before the Miss Universe contest.

Now, flight records obtained by Bloomberg provide to-the-minute details, from wheels down to departure. Combined with existing accounts and Trump’s own social-media posts, they capture a mere 45 hours and 43 minutes that, nearly five years later, loom large in the controversy engulfing the White House and at the heart of the Comey memos, which the Justice Department turned over last week to Congress.

According to Comey’s accounts of his 2017 meetings with the president, Trump said the Moscow trip was so quick that his head never hit a pillow -- even for one night. Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017.

1. ah, he didn't say he didn't spend the night -- he said he didn't spend it *sleeping*

2. Honestly I would much rather see news about when Trump tells the truth for once!

Trump lying about something? He lies on an almost hourly basis!

3. The question that needs to be asked: Why should anyone believe *anything* Donald Trump says?

He's fundamentally dishonest to the core.

He'll lie about everything, without hesitancy and without regard to the documentable facts that will disprove him.

I noticed this when he lied about firing James Comey and saying it had nothing to do with Russia.

He said that, even full knowing he had given an interview to NBC's Lester Holt where he stated in no uncertain terms that he fired Comey because of the "Russia thing."

He lies, he lies, he lies.

16. That's the question that needs to be asked ROUTINELY.

When does this asshole NOT lie?

He lies like the rest of us breathe. In 'n' out, dozens of times a minute, every minute of the day, every day of the week, every week in the year, and every year he's drawn breath on this planet.
