The White House has strongly denied an article by a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist that claims Barack Obama lied to the public about the killing of Osama bin Laden.

own lies, much less Obama's

These, among other claims attributed to an unnamed retired official from the Pakistani intelligence services, directly contradict the story President Obama told of how bin Laden died in a fire-fight after a secret incursion by a small American team. During a press conference at the White House, Obama spokesman Josh Earnest dismissed Mr Hersh’s article as “riddled with inaccuracies and outright falsehoods."
He quoted a CNN security analyst who said of the 10,000 word article: “What’s true in the story isn’t new, and what’s new in the story isn’t true.”
Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, also issued a strong denial late on Monday.

“The notion that the operation that killed Osama Bin Ladin was anything but a unilateral U.S. mission is patently false,” he said. “The president decided early on not to inform any other government, including the Pakistani Government, which was not notified until after the raid had occurred. This was a US operation through and through.”
Price declined to comment on any of the other assertions in the article, including that Navy Seals were given rules of engagement implying they should shoot bin Laden on sight regardless of whether he tried to defend himself and that he was “unarmed” and “an invalid” at the time.
“There are too many inaccuracies and baseless assertions in this piece to fact check each one,” he said.

A Central Intelligence Agency spokesman has also commented on the report, telling the Wall Street Journal it was “utter nonsense”. Pakistani officials are yet to comment on the article.
Among the other claims made in Hersh’s article were that rather than hiding out in a compound in Abbottabad, bin Laden had been held captive by the Pakistan military for years as “leverage” against al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Mr Hersh also reported that White House claims Bin Laden was still receiving information from and giving orders to al-Qaeda, and that a cache of secret details from terror activities was found in the compound, were “lies, misstatements and betrayal”.
“The White House had to give the impression that bin Laden was still operationally important,” he quoted the official as saying. “Otherwise, why kill him?”
