Donald Trump recounted a story to reporters in August about being involved in a helicopter emergency landing with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
Asked by a reporter about Vice President Kamala Harris’ previous relationship with Brown and whether it helped her career trajectory, Trump said he knew Brown “very well” and told a story about the alleged helicopter incident.
“I know Willie Brown very well,” Trump told reporters.
“In fact, I went down in a helicopter with him.
“We thought maybe this is the end.
“We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together and there was an emergency landing”.
Brown rejected Trump’s account as “obviously wrong” during a phone call later with CNN.
“I’ve never been in a helicopter with him in my life,” Brown said.
