“According to data provided by the Department
of Justice, the vast majority of individuals convicted of terrorism and
terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our
country.”
Donald Trump, speech before a joint session of Congress, Feb. 28, 2017
"“On June 12, 2018, you reached an agreement
with [the Justice Department] to resolve certain issues in dispute in
this litigation, whereby [Justice] would conduct a search for records
containing data of (i) all individuals convicted of all
terrorism-related offenses (domestic and international) between 2001 and
the date of the initial search, or (ii) all individuals convicted of
all domestic terrorism-related offenses between 2001 and the date of the
initial search. . . . [N]o responsive records were located.”
Justice Department letter to Benjamin Wittes, July 24, 2018
It isn’t every day that the Department of Justice acknowledges
formally that the president of the United States lied in a speech to
Congress."
