Kevin McCarthy is trying to rehab his image, but his lies were so outrageous that even Fox News corrected him.
McCarthy tried to claim that Donald Trump is holding his own trial, “Think about it their number one
witness has already proven to be a liar in the process. Cohen, the attorney, we will see what happens when he testifies.
