President Trump on Friday slammed NBC News over its erroneous report that the feds were eavesdropping on his personal lawyer — saying the Peacock Network’s “sources probably don’t exist.”
NBC NEWS is wrong again! They cite “sources” which are constantly wrong. Problem is, like so many others, the sources probably don’t exist, they are fabricated, fiction! NBC, my former home with the Apprentice, is now as bad as Fake News CNN. Sad!

“NBC NEWS is wrong again!” the president declaredin one of several tweets that included another of his signature calls for a wall along the US-Mexico border.
“They cite ‘sources’ which are constantly wrong. Problem is, like so many others, the sources probably don’t exist, they are fabricated, fiction!” Trump continued.
Correction: Earlier today NBC News, and this reporter, said that Michael Cohen’s phone lines were wiretapped. 3 Senior U.S. Officials now dispute that, saying the monitoring was limited to a log of calls (pen register) not a wiretap of Cohen’s lines. We will continue to report.
