Piers Morgan slams JK Rowling for 'disgraceful lie' about Trump

Piers Morgan has called JK Rowling "a shameless, lying hypocrite" after she hit out at US President Donald Trump in a series of tweets about his alleged refusal to shake a disabled child's hand.
Footage appeared on social media that showed Trump repeatedly ignoring the youngster as he reached up to shake his hand, prompting the author to send a series of critical tweets, calling the president a "monster of narcissism".

Rowling claimed he had "pretended not to see" a boy in a wheelchair as he met with "victims of Obamacare" before a press conference on July 24.

The 'Good Morning Britain' host has since tweeted a series of pictures showing the president greeting the child and has criticised Rowling for lying and neither deleting the tweets and apologising.
