Read on Twitter
President Trump's chief of staff declares, under oath, that the president didn't actually mean the things he said about having declassified a bunch of Russia investigation documents. He has not ordered that additional documents be disclosed.
Specifically, the White House has declared in court that this tweet was false: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313650640699224069
And that when the president tweeted "no redactions!" he didn't actually mean that the the government was going to disclose new things and his statements "do not require altering any redactions on any record." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313640512025513984
This is about as close as you will ever get to a sworn declaration from the White House that the president is lying to the public about matters of national security.

The Justice Department has been arguing for a while that courts can't take the president at his word, which is weird enough. Now the White House is saying it too.
