's Young Women's Leadership Summit on Sunday, reiterating her past claims that she"never lied" one time as Trump's press secretary. McEnany, who was the Trump administration spokesperson from April 2020 to January 2021, recalled a May 2020 press conference question in which a journalist asked her bluntly,"Will you pledge to never lie to us from the podium?"
McEnany replied succinctly to the reporter,"I will never lie to you," prompting critics and political pundits to scoff at the remark.

"And I said without hesitation, 'No,'" McEnany described Sunday, relaying her May 2020 press conference response to the reporter."And I never did. As a woman of faith, as a mother of baby Blake, as a person who meticulously prepared at some of the world's hardest institutions, I never lied. I sourced my information."
McEnany drew applause from attendees as she went on to rail against the news media for unfairly labeling her a"liar" throughout her tenure in the Trump administration.
