President Trump: ‘Should I Take One of the Killer Networks That Treat Me So Badly As Fake News?’

President Doanld Trump doubled down on his tweet in which he called former FBI director James Comey “a leaker” following Comey’s testimony. The president took questions during a Rose Garden newser June 9. As is standard, the president took two questions from the US press. The first reporter called on was Dave Boyer of the Washington Times, who was caught off guard. “Come on, Dave,” said President Trump. “Thank you, Mr. President. Apologies.” Boyer asked Trump why he feels vindicated by James Comey’s testimony. “No collusion, no obstruction. He’s a leaker,” said Trump.

The president then scanned the crowd before calling on the second US reporter. “Should I take one of the killer networks that treat me so badly as fake news? Should I do that? Go ahead, Jon. Be fair, Jon.” “Oh, absolutely,” said ABC’s Jon Karl.
