Trump rips CNN over Gaetz report, says they ‘probably made the whole thing up’
NY Post
Former President Donald Trump blasted CNN for its report that claimed he refused to meet with GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is facing allegations of sexual misconduct, saying the cable news network “probably made the whole thing up” — and questioning why the network is not instead reporting on Rep. Eric Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese spy.
“Fake News CNN, relying on all anonymous sources, meaning they probably made the whole thing up, wrote a very dishonest story claiming Congressman Matt Gaetz asked for a meeting with me at Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, and was denied. This is completely false,” Trump wrote in a statement released late Monday night. CNN reported on Sunday that the former president refused to meet with the Florida congressman, suggesting that Trump and other Republican leaders were distancing themselves from Gaetz who is reportedly under investigation by the feds over whether he slept with a 17-year-old girl and violated sexual trafficking laws.More Related News
