prevaricate

While Mr. Rees is keen to dispel the myths ginned up by imperial writers, he doesn’t prevaricate when the evidence shows that their fears may not have been entirely unfounded.

Martin Van Buren, the only American president whose first language was not English, was a manipulative and prevaricating weasel.

After days of conflicting statements and prevaricating, he sent Leavitt out to offer a message that was sure to make everyone mad: He will decide in "two weeks."

But regardless of any issue — foreign or domestic — none justifies placing a narcissistic, prevaricating con man in the Oval Office.

You didn’t have to cover American politics very long to realize that politicians lied, prevaricated and said things that were demonstrably untrue all the time.
