President Donald Trump launched his toughest attack on the media on Friday, accusing illegal and corrupt treatment of illegal and corrupt, including CNN, using speech in the Justice Department.

In his Friday speechTrump praised Florida District Court Judge Isleen Canon, which he appointed in 2020 and supported him in January, which had banned the DOJ from sharing a report with Congress members allegedly misinterpreting Trump’s alleged documents.

But Trump claimed that the news publisher had gone after a gun because of the January decision, alleging that “he does this with judges all the time” and without offering evidence, “those who say those who say these people will write”.

“The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and MSDNC, and fake news, CNN and ABC, CBS and NBC, will write their words,” Trump said. “And what do you do to get rid of it? You convicted Trump.

Addressing the employees of DOJ, Trump said, “It is absolutely illegal what they do.” “I just hope you can see all for it, but it’s absolutely illegal.”

Although Trump did not immediately clarify who “he”, he later claimed that CNN and MSNBC were the “political weapons of the Democratic Party”.

Trump said, “In my opinion, they are really corrupt.

CNN and MSNBC refused to comment.

Trump launched his speech on Friday praising the department’s inheritance for taking on organized crime, that under his administration, the agency’s “terrorists and traitors” will be traced to the “killers, kung pins and spies”, and “terrorists and traitors”, and the whole of the United States.

The president’s desire to surrender to the Justice Department is with the belief that the Biden administration used the agency against it. In his speech, he claimed that “he surrendered to our intelligence and the vast powers of law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people.”

But Trump’s claims, as reports have already pointed out, are fake. Two federal members of the president were brought by Jack Smith, who was a special lawyer appointed by the then Attorney General Merck Garland in November 2022. While Garland was appointed by President Joe Biden, it does not prove that Biden was in any way involved in the prosecution or the former president personally ordered the person to be charged.

Yet, citing examples of the DOJ’s alleged weapons against the Americans, Trump only gave rise to the issues that directly and directly affected the ideas of the conspiracy, many of whom were misleading or ended.

Trump’s speech extended and expanded the press to label people and the state’s enemy.

But this really means that the news organizations whose news they dislikes may face the anger of the Justice Department by the President.

That Trump is ready to go behind news organizations that he dislikes should not be surprising. The President is currently engaged in a civil case against the Pulitzer Board, which is engaged in the 2018 National Reporting Prize for the Washington Post and the New York Times in his case for awarding Russian interference coverage in the 2016 elections and awarding his alleged contacts with the Trump campaign. In December, ABC News set up a defamation case with Trump for $ 15 million. And Paramount Global, who owns CBS News, is still Trump’s case stops during his “60 minutes” sit -in Former Vice President Kamla Harris.

It says the Oval Office has nothing to do with the President’s indefinite ban on the Associated Press and Air Force One on the continuous use of the Wire Service of the term “Mexico”.

Some agencies have also indicated under the Trump administration That they are intended to finish Their subscriptions with the mainstream shops The president dislikes. In February, Press Secretary Crown Levyt announced that the White House would end $ 8 million in the Politico Pro subscriptions in response to a right -wing conspiracy theory. And, on Friday, NPR reported For the global media, the US agency has canceled its AP and AFP contracts, and has noted that it will also allow its Reuters deal to terminate on March 31.

But the President’s Friday speech made it clear that these were not individual decisions in the White House. They are part of a broader attack on the media.
