Mulvaney blamed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for the apparent lie. Trump said in comments outside the White House Friday: “This [wall] should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me and they all know it. In addition, representatives for George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have said the ex-presidents have never discussed the wall with Trump. “I have not asked the president that question.”Trump doubled down on the issue Sunday in a tweet indicating that “Barrack” Obama backed the wall. Trump quoted Obama as saying that “we cannot allow people into the United States undocumented” — which says nothing about a border wall.
