Disputed just sounds like some people think one thing and other people think something else. They don't agree with each other, so there is a dispute. That it is all up for debate.

Facts are not up for debate. A fact is a fact.

Call the man's lies what they factually are - lies.

Sure, true believers are going to put it down to the press being mean to Trump and they will always buy into Trump's lies, but calling a lie a lie makes it clear-cut that there is no dispute.
