President Donald Trump criticized CNN host Van Jones at length on Friday during a speech to the Young Black Leadership Summit, a conservative event at the White House.

Trump claimed that he had watched a television show "three weeks ago" in which Jones, a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform, had praised a long list of people, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, for the First Step Act reform bill Trump signed into law in 2018 -- but had failed to mention Trump himself.

"The only one he didn't mention was me," Trump said.

Trump complained that Jones had called for his defeat in the election on the same show. And he then claimed that Jones later apologized for omitting him.

"And then he spoke to Jared and he apologized, didn't he? He apologized. But I don't accept those apologies," Trump said.

Facts First: Jones said Friday that he has never made any such apology to Trump or Kushner. He has never praised Sharpton on his CNN show, and he has habitually given Trump credit for the First Step Act -- including in a CNN appearance three weeks ago, in which he said, "I think Trump has gotten too little credit for what he did on criminal justice reform."

Jones said Friday: "I literally do not know what he's talking about."
