Trump is lying to the press, again.

In an bizarre White House press conference following the midterm elections on Wednesday, Trump denied using racist terms to refer to Lil Jon.

When Yahoo News reporter Hunter Walker asked the president about allegations of using racist terms — Omarosa says Trump used a racial slur, and rapper Lil Jon says Trump once called him "Uncle Tom" — he deflected.

"I don't know who Little Jon is," Trump waved off the question. "I really don't."

Here's a video of the exchange.

When Walker reminds Trump that Lil Jon was on The Apprentice, the president continued denying knowing him.

"I don't know," Trump said. "Oh, he was? OK. Oh, I see."

He continued his denial after Walker asked if he'd ever "made racist remarks."

"No, no, I would never do that, and I don't use racist remarks, and you know what, if I did, you people, you would have known about it. I've been hearing there are tapes for years and years, there are tapes. Number one, I never worried about it because I never did. I never used racist remarks. I have never used racist remarks."

Except, Trump has definitely met Lil Jon, multiple times.

Here's a photo of the two on the red carpet for Celebrity Apprentice.

In 2013, Trump even tweeted about how Lil Jon was the "best celeb apprentice yet!"

Allegations of Trump's racist remarks toward Lil Jon surfaced in 2016, just before the presidential election. According to the Daily Beast, the then-Apprentice host continued to call the rapper "Uncle Tom" even after several producers asked him to stop.

Several staffers said Trump couldn't seem to understand that the phrase, a derogatory term for a Black person who's subservient to white people, is still deeply offensive.

Mariah Carey's iconic "I don't know her" is a lot more reassuring when it's not the leader of the free world trying to pull the same stunt.
