Trump denies attacking press freedom and calls false reporting a security threat

US — Media & Press Relations

What was said

Trump says the White House is targeting false reporting rather than press freedom and calls such coverage a national security threat.

The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
