Washington (CNN) — 

Former President Donald Trump is littering his public remarks with fictional stories.

… the Republican presidential nominee is telling colorful lies that are completely untethered to reality.

Here is LIE #11 from Donald Trump:

The jobs revision

After the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in August that its annual revision of jobs data found that the economy added about 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the 12 months ending in March, Trump told a story about how the government had been planning to announce this downward revision “after November 5th,” Election Day, but was forced to do so before the election because of “a whistleblower” – “a patriot leaker.”

Another fabrication. The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly releases the preliminary revised data in August, and it had disclosed the precise date of this particular data release – August 21 – weeks in advance.

William Beach, a conservative economist who Trump appointed to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, wrote on social media: “For those who think the big revision to the BLS jobs numbers ‘leaked’ and was meant to come out after the election, remember that BLS always announces its draft revisions in August and announced this year’s date, August 21, many months ago. It is important to check your facts.”

The BLS always announces draft revisions in August.

The August 21st date for the release of BLS draft revisions was announced months beforehand.

There is no evidence indicating that the BLS was going to hold onto their draft revisions until after November 5th. This is just something Trump made up because he is a pathological liar and a sociopath.
