Following a bombastic report that US government hackers allegedly targeting Russia’s power grid, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to accuse the NYT of spreading fake news detrimental to US credibility and national security.
“This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country…” Trump tweeted on Saturday evening, before realizing that he forgot to dismiss the actual report of US increasingly targeting Russia in cyber-warfare campaign as “fake news.”
“.....ALSO, NOT TRUE!” he added in a follow-up tweet.
