White House intends 'never to lie to you', says press secretary Sean Spicer

The Trump administration's "intention is never to lie to you", White House press secretary Sean Spicer told journalists during his first daily press briefing.

Mr Spicer faced questions today during the briefing after a statement in which he denounced the media's correct reporting that the crowd at Donald Trump's inauguration was smaller than at his predecessor's eight years ago.
