Trump's new press secretary pledges not to lie from podium

President Donald Trump's new spokeswoman, Kayleigh McEnany, vowed on Friday not to lie to reporters from the podium as she made her debut at the first White House briefing by a press secretary in more than a year.

I will never lie to you, McEnany told reporters. You have my word on that.

McEnany, who joined the White House last month, took the stage behind a podium that had quite literally been collecting cobwebs before the president began the practice of holding his own daily briefings because of the coronavirus.

McEnany said she spends most of the day with the president and is constantly with him, absorbing his thinking.

She said she sees it as her mission to bring you the mindset of the president, deliver those facts, so this president gets fair and accurate reporting and the American people get fair and accurate information."
Sanders' briefings were also heated, and she drew criticism for her own false statements, despite once telling reporters, I don't think it's appropriate to lie from the podium or any other place."
She grew more heated, though, as she brought up newly released documents related to former national security adviser Michael Flynn that she said should scare every American citizen."
