Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday said President Donald Trump has a tell that reveals when he’s lied. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday said President Donald Trump has a tell that reveals when he’s lied.

Perspective signals

CORROBORATED
Web search results explicitly state that emergency oil releases tied to the war in Iran are driving the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve toward 'record lows' and '40-year lows,' with experts warning of a crude crisis. This confirms the claim that levels are critically low/near panic levels.
