Trump tweets thanks to 'Fox & Friends' for 'great reporting' after segments referencing 'deep state' - LA Times

"President Trump tweeted Monday morning that former FBI Director James Comey “leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION” when he provided the New York Times with information about his meetings with the president.

There’s no evidence that is true. The president’s tweet apparently came from a segment on Fox & Friends, which was a misleading interpretation of a report from the Hill newspaper on the contents of Comey’s memos."

The President, as is his practice, simply makes accusations world wide and NEVER apologizes for lying or making an error.
