Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: The Reflecting Pool contract went to “a contractor I did not know, and have never used before.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Trump previously referenced contacting contractors who had worked for him and mentioned a contractor who built a pool at one of his clubs. While the White House later said he had no personal relationship with the selected contractor, his statement lacked important context.
