Exxon Mobil, after Trump’s fundraising remarks, says its CEO and Trump had no phone call

Exxon Mobil Corp said there had been no phone call between its chief executive, Darren Woods, and President Donald Trump after the President invoked the company’s name at a rally in Arizona on Monday when he said he could raise more money than his Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Trump, at the rally, said he could raise large sums of money if he wanted to by calling oil and Wall Street executives. He proceeded to paint a scenario of what he could do — though Trump said he would not actually make the kind of phone call he described.

“We are aware of the President’s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our CEO… and just so we’re all clear, it never happened,” Exxon said on Twitter.
