Doha, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Dec, 2018 ) :Controversial former White House press secretary Sean Spicer denied on Saturday that he ever deliberately lied while working for US President Donald Trump, but admitted he made errors.

"I've made mistakes, there are days when I wish I could have had more information or could have answered a question... more accurately," Spicer said at the two-day Doha Forum conference in Qatar.

"But I never ever got up and knowingly lied." He added: "There are days and things that I did that I wished I could have known more at the time.

" Spicer was the White House press secretary from January to July 2017, at the beginning of Trump's tenure as US president.
