U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco Jamie McCourt told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday that the Atlantic story about President Donald Trump allegedly bashing troops is untrue.
Ambassador McCourt was there the day President Trump’s team called off the trip to the cemetery at Belleau Wood because of inclement weather. She is the latest U.S. official who was actually present at the event to publicly deny the Atlantic’s account of events, which is based entirely on anonymous sources.
“Needless to say, I never spoke to the Atlantic, and I can’t imagine who would,” McCourt told Breitbart News. “In my presence, POTUS has NEVER denigrated any member of the U.S. military or anyone in service to our country. And he certainly did not that day, either. Let me add, he was devastated to not be able to go to the cemetery at Belleau Wood. In fact, the next day, he attended and spoke at the ceremony in Suresnes in the pouring rain.”
McCourt’s denial regarding the Atlantic comes after former White House deputy chief of staff Zach Fuentes, a top confidante of former chief of staff John Kelly, denied the story earlier on Monday in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News.
In addition to Fuentes, former National Security adviser John Bolton has denied the account—as has every other person who could have witnessed the president saying this: officials who were there, from former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to senior adviser Stephen Miller to advisers such as Jordan Karem and Derek Lyons. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was traveling with the president there, has also denied the report. In addition, first lady Melania Trump has denied the report and called the Atlantic article fake news.

Does it matter to these people?
Sooner or later, yes it does.
Baier and Griffin have both lost their popularity edge at Fox News and are attempting to recover their position. But making false reports without solid evident about President Trump will never cut it. They are finished.
This is another death rattle from the MSM or our very own present day PRAVDA.
Lies killed PRAVDA as the Russian people stopped listening and reading the sewage they published daily. It’s what lead to the fall of the Soviet Union. Dishonest journalism killed PRAVDA........

Baier positioned Griffin as “ infallable”. He smarminess finally got the best of him and both will deservedly suffer as the gamble of Faux being accurate didn’t hold this time and unlike GWB , The Donald is a street fighter and will not tolerate BS...
Eff em
I still recall when Baier was new and talking to Beck and Beck said something about Baier looking like the Beaver, woooweee, Baier’s face told a story—he was ticked!
So what can be done? The media carries this shit and is loading another one as we speak.
How can you tell that the media/dems are now in full-blown panic mode? They are making up easily refuted LIES, are turning up the heat of violence across the country targeting ordinary people, openly saying that they are going to flood the country with voter fraud, and are openly threatening to bring more violence if we don’t vote their way.
The jackass has been replaced as the symbol of the democrat party. Their new symbol is a black masked, black uniformed, terrorist holding a molotove cocktail over the motto “vote for us or we will burn your city to the ground”.
Those who believe the story will continue to believe it regardless of who contradicts it.
It is the Democrat way.
Just lie your ass off about everything because your just a loser.
Unfortunately I think you’re right.
My sister is a die-hard Dem, who lives in Wisconsin, and I bet she’ll believe it, no matter what evidence to the contrary she sees.
Whether or not they are finished depends on the feedback FOX gets and the viewership. I hope they are finished. This lie about the President, based on anonymous sources is the worst yet. I think this is the last straw with some people who have been sitting on the fence.
They hurt our country with this story and it’s a travesty.
There needs to be a very public apology— they compromised our security.
This is not just about telling a false story on the president, it hurts much more than that.
The truth.
Anyone recognize who Jamie McCourt is?
She is the former President and CEO of the Dodgers, was married to Frank McCourt who managed to drive the Dodgers into bankruptcy.
She is a strong Trump supporter.
Baier is a punk and a creep. In my eyes, he's still a failed cub reporter.
So numerous NAMED sources have debunked the false story and yet we are still being told to accept ANONYMOUS sources as true. Nonsense!!! This is not “journalism,” it a timed propaganda hit piece.
