President Donald Trump took a shot at an MSNBC host for claiming that Trump and the Russians have close ties.
One day after MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell admitted to making an "error in judgment" by reporting that Russian oligarchs co-signed loans through Deutsche Bank for Trump, Trump aired his opinion in a series of tweets.
"Crazy Lawrence O'Donnell, who has been calling me wrong from even before I announced my run for the Presidency, even being previously forced by NBC to apologize, which he did while crying, for things he said about me & The Apprentice, was again forced to apologize, this time…..," Trump wrote.
He added, "....for the most ridiculous claim of all, that Russia, Russia, Russia, or Russian oligarchs, co-signed loan documents for me, a guarantee. Totally false, as is virtually everything else he, and much of the rest of the LameStream Media, has said about me for years. ALL APOLOGIZE!"
Trump closed by writing, "The totally inaccurate reporting by Lawrence O'Donnell, for which he has been forced by NBC to apologize, is NO DIFFERENT than the horrible, corrupt and fraudulent Fake News that I (and many millions of GREAT supporters) have had to put up with for years. So bad for the USA!"
O'Donnell's report aired on Tuesday and he cited one source. On Wednesday, he said the report was not verified and did not go through the news network's process that attempts to verify stories before they air.
