Trump Blasts NY Times For 'No Legitimate Sources' on Mueller Report Story: 'Fake News Paper'

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday how The New York Times has “no legitimate sources, which would be totally illegal, concerning the Mueller Report.”

He added how they “are a Fake News paper who have already been forced to apologize for their incorrect and very bad reporting on me!”




The tweet comes after the Times reported on Wednesday some on Robert Mueller’s special counsel think Attorney General William Barr “failed to adequately portray [their] findings,” and that Mueller’s full report is “more troubling for President Trump” than Barr’s summary portrayed.

The Times’ Peter Baker pushed back:

If someone on the Mueller investigative team gave Congress or the media portions of the report which DO NOT contain classified material or grand jury material protected by law, it WOULD NOT BE ILLEGAL. Sure, they could/would be fired if they were found out, but there would be nothing illegal about it. I'm sure they'd try really hard to find some law violated, but this is a completed investigation and while the AG may have the legal power to determine what happens with it, a person releasing it against Barr's wishes could only be fired.

to release the Mueller report. Until you do, this is going to hang over you and your administration's heads as it should, being that the Mueller report highlights where illegal election interference helped elect you, thus you are an illegal president. Resign.

Then attacks the truth claiming they're lies because that's all he can do . He never proves his claims , like President Obama's birth place, President Obama was wiretapping him, and on and on. He hates the truth is his problem , and hates it because it exposes him for what he really is , a serial liar and a con man, and career criminal, so truth has no business with him. He has no business attacking anyone for anything the way he lies.
