On Wednesday, CNN and other news outlets reported that President Donald Trump berated his campaign manager Brad Parscale during a conference call, blaming and threatening to sue him over his falling poll numbers. The president reacted to the report by slamming CNN on Twitter.
“Just told that Fake News @CNN is falsely reporting that I was recently shouting at my campaign manager over made up nonsense,” Trump wrote in a late-night Twitter tirade. “Actually, he is doing a great job, I never shouted at him (been with me for years, including the 2016 win), & have no intention to do so. Just FAKE NEWS!”
He then ranted that CNN won’t address “their persecution” of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

.@CNN doesn’t want to speak about their persecution of General Michael Flynn & why they got the story so wrong. They, along with others, should pay a big price for what they have purposely done to this man & his family. They won’t even cover the big breaking news about this scam!
