Boy Scouts take issue
It wasn't the only disputed phone call of the week. The Boy Scouts of America, which has already apologized for Trump's politically-tinged speech at its annual Jamboree, said none of their leaders phoned the President afterward to praise his appearance -- counter to Trump's own version of events.
"I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful," the President told The Wall Street Journal last week, according to a
transcript obtained by Politico.
An official with the Scouts said on Wednesday they were not aware of any phone calls between the group's leadership and the President.
And they said their statement last week apologizing for the political tone of Trump's remarks still stood.
