Donald Trump once again lashed out at the media, calling CNN and MSNBC “corrupt” and “illegal” for reporting negatively about him. Trump’s attacks on the media are nothing new, but his choice of venue is: The Justice Department, where, in his campaign-like speech before prosecutors, he also attacked political opponents.

This is not the first time rump has publicly levied attacks against the free press. Prior to the election, Trump filed a lawsuit against CBS, claiming that a 60 Minutes interview with then Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris was edited in a way to give her an advantage.

And I believe that CNN and MSDNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they're really corrupt and they're illegal. What they do is illegal.
