Why would he lie about something that could be investigated prove him to be a liar? (I'm not saying he isnt a liar,Im just puzzled)

Why would he lie about something that could be investigated prove him to be a liar?

Because he reasonably believes the events won't be objectively investigated, or even if they are, won't be objectively reported to the extent it would affect a politcal race.

Also, because he has done this before, and gotten away with it.
