Caught in a lie: Trump cancels press conference with black pastors

While the meeting with several black pastors will still take place on Monday, the press conference in which Trump told everybody 100 black pastors will endorse him will not.

The endorsement claim prompted many of the pastors to issue angry denials from those involved who said they had agreed to listen Trump's positions on key issues. Others said they had declined the invitation altogether.

Getting the endorsement of the 100 black church leaders would have shown that he can reach beyond his his base . Unfortunately, he he lied to the pastors about his intentions. Several complained their names had been given to the media even though they declined the invitation.

On Sunday afternoon, Mr Trump announced on Twitter that Monday's meeting would not include a press conference.

Will be meeting on Monday at Trump Tower with a large group of African American Pastors. Many I know-wonderful people! Not a press event.

Black pastors to Trump: No endorsement.

UPDATE: TRUMP CANCELS PRESS CONFERENCE WITH BLACK PASTORS

It appears that the Trump Campaign has been caught in a lie. A meeting has been scheduled between Trump and 100 black clergy on Monday November 30, 2015 . The meeting was described by the campaign in a press release as, "a coalition of 100 African American Evangelical pastors and religious leaders who will endorse the GOP frontrunner after a private meeting at Trump Tower."

Several members of a group of prominent African American ministers have stated they aren't even going to the meeting and are making clear that they have made no commitments to endorse Donald Trump.
