Time to end this public battle between President Trump, his intelligence community and the truth. It’s simple. Every time there is a consequential factual disagreement between the president and any of his numerous department heads, Congress must demand a fact-based, verifiable answer to this question: Where’s your proof?
Conjecture, guesswork, personal beliefs, publicity-seeking and purely self-serving answers are not verifiable facts. In other words, once you make a claim, you must be able to prove it. Without substantiated, factual evidence such claims must be considered invalid and labeled fake truth. Truth really is the truth, and there are no alternative facts.
By the way, the American public would be best served if the legitimate press demanded an answer to this very same question.
