Nicole Wallace, a former communications director for President George W. Bush, sharply criticized how the White House released conflicting details of President Donald Trump's firing of James Comey.
"I cannot overstate how extraordinary it is," she said during an interview on NBC's Today show.
"I worked in a White House that was far from perfect, but I never was asked to go out and lie and I was never caught in a lie by a president who went out and contradicted me.
"What the president does over and over again is create a reality that is completely detached from the reality that he believed in hours before," she added.
"No one is immune from ... whatever he believes to be true at the moment."
The White House originally claimed Trump decided to fire Comey after receiving a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. But just days later, Trump said his mind was made up about Comey before receiving the memo.
