Trump Falsely Claims CNN Didn’t Cover His Snub

President Trump falsely claimed that CNN did not report on his snub of the network’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta at a news conference the previous day, The Hill reports.

Tweeted Trump: “So funny! I just checked out Fake News CNN, for the first time in a long time (they are dying in the ratings), to see if they covered my takedown yesterday of Jim Acosta (actually a nice guy) They didn’t! But they did say I already lost in my meeting with Putin. Fake News……”

”But the incident was widely covered, including by CNN, who featured Acosta reacting directly and suggesting that the president’s comment itself was ‘fake news.’”
