AP FACT CHECK: Trump pins woes in Russia probe on McCain

By HOPE YEN, CALVIN WOODWARD and ERIC TUCKER 45 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s slam on Sen. John McCain flips reality on its head when it comes to who gave veterans the option to see a private doctor at public expense. He also pins some of his woes in the Russia investigation on a distorted account of the late senator’s actions in the matter.

Trump overstates McCain’s role in aiding the FBI with a false chronology on when the senator provided a so-called “dossier” that detailed many salacious but unconfirmed details about Trump and his aides.

The president also got his history wrong on veterans.

“McCain didn’t get the job done for our great vets,” Trump said. “I got it done.”

Actually, McCain got it done.
