Trump, without evidence, says NBC fudged 2017 Russia interview

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, without offering any evidence, accused NBC News of “fudging” a May 2017 interview in which he tied his decision to fire then-FBI Director James Comey to the federal probe into Russia’s alleged election interference.

What evidence does Trump have that Lester Holt or NBC edited his interview?

Think of it this way. trump is getting attacked from all sides. He can't trust the DOJ or the FBI anymore, they've both been caught out is BS. The Dems have gone absolutely wacko. The lower court judges are all allowing suits that should have been tossed out w/o a 2nd look. Hell, I've never heard of any president suffering more suits than Trump has in his first year. What is it up to now, over a 100?

If I was Trump, and found myself in this environment, I would get rid of anyone and everyone that didn't come up through the ranks with me. I would seriously clean the swamp.

The days when politicians and members of the DOJ and FBI, actually did their jobs, rather than attack the president for... nothing, are long gone. I mean I could see it, if Trump HAD done something illegal, and THEN the FBI and DOJ got involved.
But they were involved before the guy was even elected. The FBI in particular had Hillary red handed, and just ignored it. Both the FBI and the DOJ knew in advance of the Uranium one deal that the Russian companies they were dealing with were more crooked than Al Capone, and that this information should be pased on the the president and the state dept, yet just decided not to.

I've never seen so much underhanded illegal activity by the US govt. in my life. The ONLY person, I've noticed that wasn't sitting around smiling with their hand in the cookie jar is... Trump.
Everyone is blaming the Russians for helping trump win, even though he LOST the popular vote and the electoral college put him in office. Does this mean that the Russians influenced the electoral college? And if it doesn't mean that, then this Russia influencing the election is a load of Democrat pipe dream crap.

the better question is what level of evidence does he need to convince his followers? next to none.

another question is what do his tenuous supporters near the fence think of him applying that low level of evidence? probably not good, but to unsurprising to make a lot of difference.

this is a man afterall who led a mob chanting "show us the birth certificate if you're not lying" then when shown just pivoted to "its a fake".

Have you folks noticed that whenever Trump states something ALL media sources say: "without evidence"? But when any other politician or person states something the media sources say: alleged"?

Kind of looks like verbal bias at least. Even Reuters is doing it. :D

Trump alleges NBC fudged 2017 Russia interview


Cool, show us the evidence.

What other conclusion are we supposed to get from either word choice?

I didn't say that anyone should get different conclusions from either phrase. I just said that the bias Trump is accusing everyone of, seems to be there.

Give us a break. If the media published an article that said "alleges" you'd still be up in arms.

No. In the past 3-4 days I've noticed that every article about a Trump claim says: w/o evidence. Every article about someone else's claim say alleged.
