 Four more witnesses went on record to say that the anonymously-sourced story in The Atlantic alleging that President Donald Trump dubbed dead soldiers “losers” and “suckers” is false, raising the total to 10.

Former acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, shot down The Atlantic’s article, saying, “As you all can probably imagine, I have seen more than my share of outrageous (and false) attacks on the president over the last few years. But this whole injured soldiers thing really, really pushes the envelope.”

“So, just to be clear: These claims are simply outrageous. I never heard the president disparage our war dead or wounded. In fact, the exact opposite is true. I was with him at the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy. As we flew over the beaches by helicopter, he was outwardly in awe of the accomplishments of the Allied Forces, and the sacrifices they paid.”

Number of witnesses contradicting story keeps rising

Johnny DeStefano, Trump’s former counselor, also disputed the report, saying: “I was on this trip. The Atlantic bit is not true. Period.”

Derek Lyons, Trump’s staff secretary and counselor, and Dan Walsh, former White House deputy chief of staff, have also both denied the report.

On Friday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement that Lyons had said:

I was with the president the morning after the scheduled visit. He was extremely disappointed that arrangements could not be made to get him to the site and that the trip had been canceled. I have worked with the president for his entire administration. One of my responsibilities is working with him on the many letters he signs to our nation’s fallen heroes’ families. In all my time at the White House. I have never heard him utter a disparaging remark of any kind about our troops. In my view, he holds the brave men and women of our armed forces in the highest regard.

Even John Bolton contradicts report

McEnany then read Walsh’s statement: “I can attest it to the fact that there was a bad weather called in France and that the helicopters were unable to safely make the flight. Overall, the president’s support and respect for our American troops past and present is unquestionable.”

All of this comes after former national security adviser John Bolton—who is a fierce Trump opponent—went on the record and disputed The Atlantic’s report.

“I didn’t hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them. I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go Aisne-Marne cemetery,” Bolton told Fox News. “He decided not to do it because of John Kelly’s recommendation. It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do. I never heard he made that kind of comment about another country’s forces either, no.”
