President Donald Trump unleashed a furious attack on the media yet again Thursday morning, urging CNN to fire its president, Jeff Zucker, and accusing NBC News anchorman Lester Holt of “fudging” an interview with him.
“What’s going on at CNN is happening, to different degrees, at other networks—with NBC News being the worst,” the president wrote. “The good news is that Andy Lack(y) is about to be fired(?) for incompetence, and much worse. When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia, they were hurt badly!”
In a shockingly candid interview last May, Trump flatly admitted to Holt that “the Russia thing” was on his mind when he fired former FBI Director James Comey—an admission that has fueled charges he obstructed justice for investigators in the Russia election interference probe.
The president provided no reason for why he believes the interview was “fudged.”

Here it comes, Trump suggesting to his followers anything negative toward him “may have been altered”. Fake audio, fake video will soon be a cover for getting away with anything. https://t.co/2FzXkKBDNS

At the risk of this phrase becoming an evergreen tweet, this is astonishingly dangerous. The entire Holt interview is online. It's not altered. He's never claimed that until now. And he's telling people not to believe their own eyes. https://t.co/8TjR0msZK4

And here Trump claims that NBC News and Lester Holt were caught "fudging" tape of his interview on Comey and Russia, which is an interesting charge to surface a whole 15 months after the interview aired. https://t.co/OjzuNHb12H
