Donald Trump Claims MSNBC And CNN Are Illegal In DOJ Speech
The U.S. Constitution has guaranteed the right to a free press for nearly 240 years, but it appears Donald Trump thinks times up.
The president gave a speech Friday at the Justice Department railing against news outlets he says have unfairly targeted him.
Trump singled out CNN and MSNBC, which he called MSNDC, claiming those outlets literally write 97.6% bad about me and are political arms of the Democrat Party.
He added, In my opinion, theyre really corrupt and theyre illegal, what they do is illegal.

Trump baselessly accuses news media of illegal behavior and corruption in DOJ speech (CNN)
(CNN) President Donald Trump launched some of his harshest attacks yet on the media on Friday, using a speech at the Department of Justice to baselessly accuse outlets including CNN of illegal and corrupt behavior.
In his Friday speech, Trump praised Florida district court Judge Aileen Cannon, whom he appointed in 2020 and who sided with him in January, blocking the DOJ from sharing a report on Trumps alleged mishandling of classified documents with members of Congress.
But Trump claimed news publishers had gone after Cannon because of the January ruling, alleging they do it all the time with judges and that they will write whatever these people say, without offering proof.
