Trump Slams New Yorker Over Denying Obama Intelligence Access Report
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday slammed the New Yorker over a recent report concerning former President Obama.
President Trump on Tuesday went after the New Yorker, continuing his Twitter attack on the media.
"Fake News, of which there is soooo much (this time the very tired New Yorker) falsely reported that I was going to take the extraordinary step of denying Intelligence Briefings to President Obama. Never discussed or thought of!" Trump wrote.
Trump appears to be referencing a story on Monday, in which the New Yorker wrote, in part:
"As Trump stepped up his public and private attacks on Obama, some of the new President's advisers thought that he should take the extraordinary step of denying Obama himself access to intelligence briefings that were made available to all of his living predecessors. Trump was told about the importance of keeping former Presidents, who frequently met with foreign leaders, informed. In the end, Trump decided not to exclude Obama, at the urging of [H. R.] McMaster."
Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the media during his presidency.
"The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it's TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!" Trump wrote in early August.
