(Adnkronos) – Donald Trump has rejected accusations of an attack on press freedom after the lawsuit announced by CNN, Politico, and Ms Now against the president and some members of his administration for the ban on White House access imposed on their journalists.
“The White House is not carrying out an attack on the free press, something I care about. It is carrying out an attack on fake news, something that has grown like a cancer in our beloved United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The American president then defined fake news as “corrupt, pervasive, completely coordinated, and totally out of control.” “They are a threat to our National Security and must be stopped, Now!” he added.
