The fourth statement is the lie.
George Washington never lived in the White House — construction finished in 1800 and John Adams was the first president to live there. (Washington supervised its design and construction but died in 1799.) It is true, however, that some of Washington’s enslaved servants (including his cook Hercules and his wife’s personal servant Oney/Ona Judge) fled from his household.
