Trump Rants About “Sewer” Of Fake News

Talking Points Memo reports:



The President began the week claiming that Washington, D.C. is “much worse than anyone ever thought,” taking to Twitter to make yet another jab at the news media. Using one of his campaign tag-lines “Drain the Swamp,” President Donald Trump said the phrase should be changed to “Drain the Sewer” instead, saying it “begins with the Fake News!”

The tweet comes as multiple news outlets obtained and reported on the statement senior White House adviser Jared Kushner submitted to Congress outlining his interactions with Russian officials during Trump’s campaign. Kushner is scheduled to testify before a Congressional intelligence committee this week on whether he had a role in the Russian government meddling in the 2016 election.
