After New Surveillance Claims, Partisan Nets Focus on Trump’s ‘Baseless’ ‘Fiction’

[See NewsBusters for more.] In the wake of explosive new claims from Congressman Devin Nunes that Donald Trump and aides were surveilled during the presidential transition, the partisan networks on Thursday circled back to focus on the President’s “baseless,” “false,” “fictional” Tweets. ABC, CBS and NBC also questioned the credibility of the House chairman who brought the information to the President. On CBS This Morning, Major Garrett opened his report by reminding, “For weeks, the White House has fiercely defended the fiction that President Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped.” Later, the journalist underlined, “The President was asked if he felt vindicated about his false claim that former President Obama ordered wiretapping of his Trump Tower phones.”
