Exxon Mobil on Monday sought to clarify a "hypothetical" conversation mentioned by President Trump at a campaign rally in which Trump said he could easily call on the company's executive to raise millions in campaign contributions.

"We are aware of the President’s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our CEO…and just so we’re all clear, it never happened," ExxonMobil tweeted just a few hours after the rally.

At the rally in Arizona on Monday afternoon, Trump had said he could easily out-fundraise Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden if he just reached out to oil and Wall Street executives.

“Don't forget, I'm not bad at that stuff anyway, and I'm president. So I call some guy, the head of Exxon. I call the head of Exxon. I don't know,” Trump said before playing out a conversation.

4. Are you sure it never happened Exxon ? Maybe

an investigation should be started after all the president said so. Maybe all trump supporting corporations need to be investigated. Time to show there's a price for backing trump.
