Gavin Newsom has called Donald Trump a “stone cold liar” as the federalization of national guard troops didn’t come up when he spoke with the president on the phone last Friday night. “He never brought it up. Period. Full stop. He lied about that,” Newsom said on Thursday morning in an interview with the New York Times podcast The Daily.

Trump has said he spoke to Newsom about sending troops before he did so. “He lied, he lied,” said Newsom. “My mother and dad’s grave, I don’t mess around when I say this. he lied. Stone cold liar. Don’t think for a second he told the truth ... he continues to lie.” Newsom said he would not go further into the details of “a private conversation with the president”.

“It’s theatre, it’s madness, it’s unconstitutional,” the California governor said condemning the use of federal troops called into action in Los Angeles by Trump over the Democratic governor’s explicit objections.
