The original story came from an anonymous source leak
quote:

A White House spokesman did not respond to requests for comment. The Mexican government said the account was not accurate.

The phone call between the leaders was intended to patch things up between the new president and his ally. The two have had a series of public spats over Trump's determination to have Mexico pay for the planned border wall, something Mexico steadfastly refuses to agree to.

"You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Pena Nieto, according to the excerpt given to AP. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."

A person with access to the official transcript of the phone call provided only that portion of the conversation to The Associated Press. The person gave it on condition of anonymity because the administration did not make the details of the call public.

Associated Press

I wonder about these so called leaked transcripts. Very strange...

I imagine this is BS too. Taken out of context trifling... I smell a rat and usually this big of a rat is McCain and Miss Linsey.

I still love that this is happening. More pulling back the curtains so we can see what the left is all about.

Supposedly even the Mexican government is denying this. My gut tells me that McCain is behind this with the uniparty establishments of both sides of the aisle. It even sounds made up. Know what I mean hombre'?

This is pure unadulterated propaganda. The KGB would be proud of the MSM.

It's extremely terrifying for a free nation's mainstream media to be reporting on fake leaks to try and undermine the office of the Presidency. I mean, these are becoming outlandish in content. It is absolutely nuts.

There's nothing to stop them. I don't see an end to it. The left only cares about facts some of the time.

AP is reporting this as a freaking headline. Yet, within their article they sneak in anonymous source and that Mexico denies this.

This is very frightening. Even TheHill.com within 30 seconds ago-- changed their headline from Mexico denies this to WH denies this. BOTH deny this. I corrected their title.

quote:

WH and Mexico deny the report that Trump threatened Mexican president over 'bad hombres' | TheHill

The U.S. and Mexico are denying reports that President Donald Trump told his Mexican counterpart Enrique Peña Nieto that U.S. forces will handle the "bad hombres down there" if the Mexican authorities don't.

The Associated Press reported the story, citing an excerpt from a transcript of a Friday call. A similar account, citing sources in both countries, was also reported by D.C.-based journalist Dolia Estevez.

Spicer should come out with the entire, unedited transcript in his next briefing.

No he shouldn't. If he did, anytime the media wanted info, they would just throw some BS out there and require the WH to expose every little detail to disprove it.

I'm leary to believe this. It just sounds fake. But of course the white house would deny it. Hell they deny calling the ban a ban after they named it a ban.
