President Donald Trump labeled reports from two major networks on alleged ties between individuals linked to his campaign and the Russian government as totally biased and fake news Thursday morning, continuing his tirade against allegations that his election team colluded with the Kremlin.
Just watched the totally biased and fake news reports of the so-called Russia story on NBC and ABC. Such dishonesty! Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday morning. He did not dispute any of the specifics of either report, which aired on NBCs Today show and ABCs Good Morning America.
The president's complaint comes one day after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) announced that he had been given information to suggest that members of Trumps transition team, and potentially Trump himself, had been inadvertently surveilled after the election, a revelation that Trump said Wednesday made him feel somewhat vindicated.
But even as Nunes went public with his discovery a move that was itself controversial not only because he did not share it first with the committees ranking Democrat but also because his committee is in the midst of an investigation into possible ties between the presidents campaign and Russia the California lawmaker said there was still no proof of Trumps claim that former President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower during last years election.
