Trump has lied before when he blames Obama for his own family separation policy.
On @MSNBC, President @realDonaldTrump just falsely claimed family separations were a @BarackObama policy. https://t.co/MCYtqwQHZB

This fact check is from a year ago because Trump has repeatedly lied about this, which he did again today. https://t.co/kqP4ZaCh6i

The president is lying. President Obama detained minors who came alone. He did not have a policy of separating families. This is brazen.

Per the pool reporter, Trump has resumed his dishonesty about family separation, saying "I'm the one who stopped it" while not acknowledging he had started the policy he later stopped.

Trump tries to blame Obama for family separations under his zero tolerance policy: “Obama separated the children, by the way. Just so you understand, President Obama separated the children.” (False – As we have reported this was a Trump admin policy aimed at deterring migrants)
