Trump Calls The Washington Post And New York Times 'The Enemy Of The People' After Mueller Report
- 5 years ago
President Trump again slammed the media on Friday.
President Trump on Friday lashed out at the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Reacting to a tweet slamming a Post headline about the recently released Mueller report, Trump wrote: "The Washington Post and New York Times are, in my opinion, two of the most dishonest media outlets around. Truly, the Enemy of the People!"
Hours prior, the president slammed special counsel Mueller over his findings from the probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 election.
"Statements are made about me by certain people in the Crazy Mueller Report, in itself written by 18 Angry Democrat Trump Haters, which are fabricated & totally untrue," Trump tweeted. "Watch out for people that take so-called 'notes,' when the notes never existed until needed."
"Because I never agreed to testify, it was not necessary for me to respond to statements made in the 'Report' about me, some of which are total bulls__t & only given to make the other person look good (or me to look bad). This was an Illegally Started Hoax that never should have happened," Trump continued.
The New York Times notes: "Mueller examined about 10 actions by President Trump to determine whether he sought to obstruct justice but could not reach a conclusion. He found a concerted effort by Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, but established no criminal conspiracy between Mr. Trump's campaign and Russia."
